Wow! What an assembly!

Hey Room 15
Just a quick note to say thanks so much for pulling together such an awesome assembly.

I know that at some point every student in our class made a contribution to assembly and I want to thank each of you for your dedication, energy and creativity in making the event a huge success.

My favourite part of assembly was the Te Tawa News segment. Perhaps we need to produce a regular news show about things going on around TIS and not just Pouakai and Room 15. What was your favourite part of assembly and do you think we need to start planning a regular news show?

I also think our Kindness Boomerang video was a big hit. We took our inspiration from a video that I found from another teacher on twitter. Which the school norms do you think this video represents and why? Do you think we should make another video at some point?




My WINs for assembly was ensuring every student made a contribution to assembly at some point. My First Attempt In Learning was forgetting to have the lyrics to the national anthem ready for everyone at assembly to read. Next time I am responsible for assembly, I need to make a check list of files I need before the event so I don't forget something important.

How was participating in this project for you? What did you do to help make our assembly a success?

What were some things you liked about our Pouakai Assembly?

What were some of our F.A.I.L.s? Make sure you give a solution to any F.A.I.Ls.

Our first Global Project - Collaboreyes

Our syndicate's first home learning task was to submit an entry for the Collaboreyes project. This is a global project where children from around the world take pictures of themselves wearing sunglasses in places that are significant to them. I couldn't pick one as there are so many awesome pictures and accompanying stories. I learned so much not just about Tawa and Wellington but also so much about the students who submitted stories to this project. I've included all your descriptions over on our flickr set.

But here's a slideshow of some of the stars of the First Fifteen.

 

Fantastic work class.

How did you feel taking part in a global project. Do you have any favourite pictures?
