Autumn Leaves

On Friday the kids worked their socks off on some Autumnal art. Mrs. Riddell took them through the processes of leaf rubbing, stenciling and sketching. Their art looks fantastic as a result!!

Pink Shirt Day... anti-bullying!

Well, today was a little different for most of the kids. We talked, we questioned, and we discussed bullying. We used a few of the techniques learned by Ms. B. at the Thinking and Questioning PD last Friday like '3-2-1' where we distill our thinking down by sharing, comparing and discarding the less relevant ideas. We came up with slogans of our own to stamp out bullying, we tried to work out why people might bully in the first place, we did some creative role playing and recorded these on the ipads with the help of some super helpful kids from Room 12. The videos are 'rough' but you get the gist of our day...
