Are you a self Managing learner?
We have been doing some thinking around being a self managing learner. It started with our treaty and as the term has gone on we found some more ideas about how we can be "the best ME I can be".
This are the things we think are important in being a good learner and apart of a team.

Is it easier to give or follow instructions?
On Fridays we do a listening activity. Today we took turns giving and following instructions. We got in pairs and built something out of Lego. We had to give clear, specific instructions to our buddy as they couldn't see. Afterwards we reflected on if it was easier to give the instructions or follow instructions. We discovered that if we are the youngest in the family we found it easier to follow instructions.
Fraction Friday's
We have been having fun with fractions on Fridays.
We have learnt halves and quarters of shapes and sets.
We have learnt how to draw and write fractions.
We found it interesting that half can be made in many different ways. We explored this with Lego and playdough.
We learnt the relationship between halves and doubles.
We learnt words like fair, equal, denominator and numerator.
We learnt that the bigger the denominator the smaller the fraction.
We learnt fractions are FUN!

What dies it mean to be a good team member
Today we tried some activities that challenged our skills as a member of a team.
Some things we decided make a good team are:
Support each other
Help other
Be kind and caring
Talk nicely
Work together
I wonder if we could think if any more?

Swimming with Life Jackets!
Our last day of swimming we got to try life jackets on in the pool. It was fun because the life jackets hold us up in the water. We made a floating circle.
Then we practiced exiting a boat by tipping backwards and landing in the water.
We learned that life jackets can help you in the water and that you must wear them when you are on a boat.
What a cool day.
