Essential Agreement and Vision Statement

This week the children had to illustrate our school vision statement and then explain their illustration to the class.

Everyone had a different way of illustrating it and all had a great understanding of the school vision.

We also dispayed our class essential agreement.

Unpacking our School Vision and Essential Agreement

On Friday the class spent time unpacking our school Vision and creating our class essential agreement.

VISION

"Learning together, growing together, each making a difference."

The children had to be creative and illustrate what they think our school vision means to them.


They will share their illustrations to the class and we will create a class collage. I was really impressed with the creativity of the children and how hard they worked. They definitely understand our school vision. I will share their illustrations once they are finished.

They also spent time creating our class essential agreement - what helps them learn. The class talked about what they saw as most important for our class essential agreement which will maximise learning for everyone.

This will become our guideline in the classroom to support our learning.

Our Essential Agreement
- Be supportive, listen to others people's ideas and work cooperatively

·     Never give up. Keep trying even when it is hard

·    Be a thinker. Ask questions and search for the answer

·    Try new things, even if scares you

·    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We learn from them

·    Enjoy your work and be creative

We finished off the day with a game that Miss Alison taught us called "Stop Ball" with the rest of the Grade 4 classes putting into practice our essential agreement.

Digital Citizenship

On Friday Mr Matt our IT specialist spoke to all the Grade 4 classes about the importance of digital citizenship. He reminded the children about keeping their passwords secret and about posting comments on blogs.

It was a good reminder for all the children and teachers about passwords and about ensuring what comments we post on blogs are sensible.
