Maps, conferences, and designs

This week has been full to overflowing with sharing ideas about learning. We completed our learning maps that help us to talk about the people, places and things that help us learn. We used these to share with our families and find ways to strengthen our learning. At the end of the conferences we had a learning goal and all of the people in our learning triangle now what we need to do to help our learners achieve those goals. Thanks to everyone who managed to share!

Some of the common themes that we heard were learners loving the library space because it was quiet and comfortable. We are all thinking now about how we can create more quiet and comfort around Zone 31.

Next we spent some time designing our learning space using furniture like the ones in Rooms 5-8. We have some very talented designers in our room. Take a look at some of their ideas!

Two weeks we sent Olwyn to Waipukurau School along with our own simile and metaphor postcards. We included a poster that shares some interesting information about ourselves and the place we live in. 



Last week we received a small package from 7W, Waipukurau School with their wonderful poetry and postcards. What an amazing experience this was. 


Today we heard that Olwyn will be going with 7W to Napier Museum! Now we wait with bated breathe to see what other adventures Olwyn has had when she returns to us. Keep an eye out on our blog to stay up to date on Olwyn's Exploits
