Blog Buddy

Connecting with our Blog Buddy in Room 3
Firstly, we have to write instructions for our buddy so he or she can create the piece of artwork.
Our instructions need to be very clear and concise for our buddy to follow.

This activity is challenging, but we are up to it!

The most exciting part of this activity is that we are incorporating our Learning Asset of 'Collaboration'.

Collaborative Art

Today, Room 11 produced amazing art pieces with Mrs Griffin, collaborating in their Ako Whanau groups. 

The learners look very proud of their achievements.  

Collaboration at its finest!

Room 11 have been focusing on the Learning Asset of Collaboration.  This is an essential skill in learning how to contribute successfully in a group.  We are self assessing ourselves as to whether we listen and accept others ideas, contribute to the activity productively and also what our future goals are for being an awesome and successful collaborator.
Mrs Griffin introduced the skill of collaboration through the medium of Art.  We were in small groups and had to create an imaginative Taniwha - using pastel and vivid.  From the completed pieces, it is clear to see that the learning asset was well received and we all had fun.  Bring on Collaboration!

Commenting on Blogs throughout our Tairawhiti Region

Room 11 are practising commenting on other learners' Blogs in the Tairawhiti Region.  We are writing positive comments and even thinking of future ideas and other suggestions.  We are looking forward to receiving positive comments on our Blogs too.

Mr Fourie is our Manaiakalani teacher, who is awesome at supporting us on our Learning Journey.
