And where did it go? We are almost done with Week 5 now too. It has been great to get back into working and to watch those new to Room 9 begin to grow.
Our focus this term is preparing for Camp - which, for us, is on the last week of school. Great timing, we will all need a holiday after camp! Camp meeting will be held next week and it would be great if all parents coming to camp (and all parents in general) could attend.
Room 9 have been working on Art with Alice - an amazing local artist who comes in each week and helps students prepare their boards for displays depicting our school values. Students will be working with resin to give their boards the finishing touches. Alice makes it look so easy - but for the non-arty people it is a challenge, and I'm proud of the efforts Room 9 are putting in.
We have been focusing on being respectful and telling the truth (the whole truth) in class as part of our PB4L lessons. Students have been working on owning their behaviours and not looking for excuses or blame, and also on telling the whole story - not leaving out those parts that they may have played in whatever scenario has occurred.
We have also had the opportunity to visit the Safety Truck down at the Rec Centre. We walked down on what was the warmest day, and enjoyed visiting the truck, climbing in and out of the truck and checking for blindspots. This gave students an appreciation of just how hard it is for truck drivers to see them on their bikes or crossing the road.
