Room 1 Classroom Ambassador Last week the class had the honour to see Reneeta Masilagi presented with her classroom ambassador badge at the whole school assembly. She was voted by the class as a student who is respectful, kind, caring and who cares about the class and their well being. As a leader Reneeta has a good work ethic and she believes that as a leader she must also be a very effective learner who strives for success.  Congratulations Reneeta Masilagi I know you will be an amazing classroom ambassador. https://youtu.be/VlreRZzqX1k

This week in room 1 we have been learning about  "C hoices and consequences" As a class the students had to identify the positive and negative effects digital technology had on their lives. As a class they discussed how technology has become second nature and how technology is an integral part of their every day lives. Could students live without technology? Could we stop using technology for a day? How was technology affecting our environment? These questions were questions some students were trying to answer. This mini assignment helped the students from Room 1 identify how the whole world depends on technology.

What Makes Us Room 1. This was a question I asked the class after 5 weeks at school. As a class I wanted to know what made them a class and how they could succeed with their learning as well as how they could be effective G.I.S. citizens who are well mannered, polite and respectful.   https://youtu.be/aj-8Vm2Vpm0 https://youtu.be/HG_UIeimvBQ

During week 4 Room created hands to display the goals they wished to achieve in 2016. As a class we looked at identifying learning goals and personal goals which included sports, school contribution, behaviour, and leadership goals. The hands are displayed high in the class as a reminder that we will work together to achieve all our goals. We need to see the goals so we can achieve our goals. Our school has 4 key values "RESPECT" "TOLERANCE""COOPERATION"and "PERSEVERANCE" as a class we wanted to use mind maps to display what we thought our school values should be in class and around the school.

During Week 3 the class wanted to show and display what we thought leadership in the school and around the world meant to us as a class. During our reading lessons we learnt about non continuous texts a focusing on the lay out and how fonts, text boxes, and diagrams are used to show and display information. As a class we created our own non continuous texts with the heading "LEADERS" What a great lesson with a very colourful and informative out come.

I would like to welcome all the new students to the friendly and energetic Room 1.
