This week we focused on the Learner Dispositions of Be Curious and Question during our Action Stations for Maths and Reading in Room 20 and 21.
This shows our value of Active Thinking.
What new "Can Dos" did you try this week?
Sophie M: I tried the supermarket instead of always being on Puppet Pals
Myles: I went to the supermarket.
Mela: I tried My Shopping List instead of painting all the time.
Keisha: I tried sketching
Lucas M: I tried painting.
Isis: I tried Puppet Pals
Why is it important to try something new?
Avia: Because you will get better at it.
Katie: Because if you do the same thing over again other people won't get a turn.
Greer: Because if you do the same thing over again , you won't know how to do other things because you don't do anything different
Sasha: Trying something new is actually being self aware.
Christina: If you only do the same activities you will never learn how to do the other things.

The Junior Choir Performs at the Kākano Team Assembly
An enthusiastic group of Year 1-3 children entertained us today at the team assembly. What a treat it was to see the shining, proud faces of the Junior Choir as they performed.
This video only shows half of the choir - the half showing the Room 20 & 21 children.
You can see that Mr McCallum has a large and enthusiastic group of singers to work with.
Making something that moves!
On Friday afternoon we practised our Learning Disposition of Resilience when we made pin wheels. This was part of our science - making something that moves.
The children had to persevere, keep trying and not give up! Thank you to all the parents who came in to help the children.
Being Self Aware
I can use the right voice at the right time.
Using the right voice is important because:
People at the jellybean table are learning
and they won’t be able to hear what the teacher is saying. – Sophie M
We need to let other people learn -Matthew
We don’t want to interrupt other people’s
learning – Katie
Then the teacher doesn’t have to stop and
tell people to be quiet. – Abigail
People can’t learn when it is noisy and
they won’t get better at their learning – Sophie A
If our voice is too loud it might disturb
the other classes learning – Christina
It is one of our school rules to
communicate respectfully – Myles
It shows other people that you care about
them – Greer
Sometimes we need to stop talking so we can
start thinking. – Miss Corcoran
Action Station Reflection
Today the children were asked a question to reflect on about the learning they do during the week at action stations.
How do you know you are learning?
They thought about this, they shared their ideas with a partner and then they shared with the class. Here are some of their ideas:
Max: At the action station - Basic word Bingo - I am learning my fast words.
Isabella: We do the Must dos and can dos properly.
Sophie Agnew: I know that I am learning when I get on with the job and I know that I am learning when I have done it.
Noah: By not copying anybody.
Greer: I know I am learning when I go to a must do and I do it and I don't talk to my friends and I do activities away from them.
Yojwan: The signs on the table tell us if it is a must do or a can do and the right voice to use.
Zubia:When I am not with my friends I don't talk. When I am with my friends I start talking and I don't get my Must dos done and I have payback my learning time.
Sophie M: When I am at the table with alphabet cards I know I am practising my alphabet.
Madison M: When I am the drawing table I would learn how to draw better if I wasn't a very good drawer.
Myles: We need to do the must dos.
Christina: We first do the must dos then we do the can dos.
Mela: By getting my must dos done then I get on with my can dos.
Anaru: I know when I am learning when I play the basic fact game right.
