Star of The Week - Term 2 - Week 1

It has been a short week for our first week of Term Two. As a teacher, I thought it would be harder for me to decide who our star of the week is during lockdown, as I like to focus on people who have been demonstrating our class treaty and school values through direct actions. However, I quickly noticed you are still able to do these things in your distance learning - it just depends on you to make sure you are demonstrating them. How you ask? Well, let's think of some examples, together. How can you demonstrate these things at home? How can you use Blogger as a tool to help you demonstrate these values?

Our Class Treaty 
In Room 1, we agree to……

• Show integrity by being honest and owning up to our mistakes.

• Include everyone.  

• Be kind to everyone.

• Show respect to each other by being friendly and saying positive, kind things to one another.

• Respect our class property and the property of our peers.

• Challenge ourselves. 

School Values:

• Respect for self and others.
• Celebration of diversity.
• Integrity.
• Personal excellence.

I would like to announce the Star of the Week for Term 2 Week 1 is Rishikumar Patel! Rishi has put a lot of effort into his descriptive writing this week, using high-level descriptive language to describe his favourite toys. He has also done a great job using descriptive language to describe a character he has been reading about. By putting a great effort into his work, he has shown respect for himself and others during this lockdown period. I also like how he has included a photo in his blog post so we can all see the toys he has been describing. I would like to point out that Rishi has been posting his work to his blog so we can all see it. Please make sure you are all posting to your blogs regularly. Have a look at his blog! Keep up the great work Rishi. When we are back at school, you can select a prize and collect your certificate. Mahi Pai! (Good work!)
