Rapunzel Retell.

 This morning we worked in five groups to retell the events from the u tube clip we watched called Rapunzel.

We used the thinking hats to think about how our learning went.

• Yellow hat: Joshua liked seeing the clip.  Anneliese's group worked in unity.  Erika liked sharing ideas with others.
• Black hat: Our group didn't listen to each other and all wanted to talk at the same time.  I heard a lot of arguing. Ella.  We could have thought of better words to put in our sentences.  Dominic.
• Green hat:   Make a table group s we don't have to move around. Gabi. Split our writing book into a storyboard and write the series of events on our own. Zavier. Use the storyboard for an animation.Jack. We could do a donnut.Mekaela.

Class Learning Goals

This week we decided to brainstorm six goals that would help improve our listening and learning.  These are the ones we voted to focus on;

1. get ready for learning
2. don't talk when the teacher is talking
3. show respect to adults in the class
4. don't distract others from their learning
5. don't be distracted by others
6. look for ways to help other students in class time

Our next step is to link these to the key competencies and our SUPER Gospel values.
