Thursday 11th April

Kia Ora all

Today we had a visit from Madame Winch, the French teacher from England, with whose English School - Kingswood Junior - we are going to do a penfriend exchange.


She talked about what it was like at her school in England, and how the students there were SO EXCITED about receiving letters from Room 5 students.

We then shared our writing with a buddy and gave them some advice about how they could improve it. We aim to have our replies completed by next Thursday when Madame Winch comes along to collect them.
















Conflict Resolution

Today reading group 3 and 4 became 'teachers' and discussed their Guide to Conflict Resolution with group 1 and 2. They did very well. We then had a discussion about YES/YES solutions, YES/NO solutions and NO/NO solutions. There were some very interesting examples shared by students.



 



  

 



We have had a desk change, we have literally changed the whole layout. We now have 4 'pods' of desks. Student feedback is that there is more room - I agree.





See you tomorrow
Mr F.
