Star of the Week - Term 2 Week 4

Hi Room 1,

Some of you may be wondering who the Star of the Week was for last week (Term 2, Week 4). Firstly, I would just like to say I'm very pleased with the quality of work you are all doing at home lately. I can see a real improvement in the effort people are putting in, and consistency with those who have already been putting their best effort in. You should all be proud of the work you have managed to complete on your own at home. I know it has been a very strange time. So, thank you all for being such great online learners!

The Star of The Week for Term 2, Week 4 is Fariah Abrar! Fariah has been demonstrating our school values of Excellence and Respect throughout her online learning. She has shown respect in her email correspondence with her teacher (using good manners) and strived for excellence in her work,  seeking feedback and making changes to her work based on this. Fariah has been consistent with completing her Must Do tasks throughout the term. Well done Fariah!

Could you be the star of this week? Keep up the great work, comment on other's blog posts and demonstrate our school and class values. I will be keeping an eye out for students who are doing these things!

Star of the Week - Term 2, Week 3

Hello Room 1,

I would like to announce that the Star of the Week for Term 2, Week 3 is.........


Dorothy Chang! Dorothy has worked hard to complete all of her Must Do tasks this week for Writing, Reading, Inquiry and Maths. She has been sharing her work with me regularly. I believe Dorothy has demonstrated the following values:

"Challenge ourselves" - from our class treaty

"Integrity"and "Personal Excellence" - from our school values.

When we show integrity, we show honesty. Dorothy has kept herself motivated and showed integrity in her work by completing the tasks regularly. She has taken responsibility for her own learning. Ka pai, well done Dorothy! Please make sure you post your work to your personal blog, so we can all see what great learning you have been doing at home.

Thanks,
Miss Hudson

The Star of the Week for Term 2, Week 2 is..............

Garuth Athukorala! Garuth has been demonstrating our class treaty value of "including everyone" at home, by including his little sister in his learning activities and fun challenges. If you check out Garuth's blog, you can see he has included his sister in the Tik Tok challenge, as well as the bowling activity for PE. He has also been including people from our class in his learning. For example, answering other classmates' maths questions they have created for our class. Well done Garuth! Mahi pai. Garuth posts regularly to his personal blog, and has even shared some photos of other fun activities he has been up to e.g. making pizzas with his family. 

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!)

Reason: for showing respect for our school's property and being a helpful, kind classmate. Mahi Pai! (Good Work!)

I have noticed Janya has consistently been doing her class job, of keeping the tote tray area tidy - you can even spot this area in the pic to the right! She has also been respecting our school's library by making sure any books that are left on tables have been put away in the correct places, chairs are pushed away and the library is tidy for the next class who visits. Janya is always kind to others and offers to help others. It is a pleasure having you in Room 1, Janya!
