Wednesday- Appreciation and Reflection day.

Today we will accomplish two goals:

Notes of Appreciation. When you have discussed with your partner who would like to write a note for, you can click on THIS LINK. It will take you to a slide show. Choose a slide no one else is using. Put your names at the top. Talk about your plan- what will go in each paragraph? Insert a text box and start typing your note in there. Once you have finished, check your work carefully- spelling, paragraphs, ideas... Visit two other slides and give some helpful feedback. For example, writing tips, or comments on their thank you ideas. To make a comment, highlight the words you want to comment on, click on INSERT and choose COMMENT. Write in the comment box and click DONE.

Memories and Metaphors. You will choose at least three images and use them to represent something to do with this year. You will put the pictures on Seesaw and write your connections. Think about these categories to get some ideas: Friends, Term 4, Your class, Your teacher, An event from this year, how you are feeling now… Look through the slideshow here. It has 30 images. Connect your category to one image. For example, I think the photo of the knots are like my friends because we always stick together and are stronger together. 1). So I copy the photo of the knots: 2). I put the picture on Seesaw as one of my three images and then write my reason about why knots remind me of my friends. 3). Give useful feedback to two other people on their Seesaw entries.

Letter to future me.

This is a website that you can send a letter to yourself at a time and date in the future.

On Wednesday the 12th of December it is the last Wednesday of school.

You will have been on the Senior School Fun Day, had speech finals, started packing up your class, you will soon be finding out your teacher for next year or getting ready to leave for your Middle school or Intermediate.

Maybe you want to tell yourself how well you have been doing this year, and send a letter of appreciation? maybe you want to send some advice?

Maybe you want to tell yourself how you feel RIGHT NOW and how you HOPE you are going to be feeling then?

I wonder if you will change a lot during the next 3 weeks? Write a letter to yourself ON GOOGLE DOCS so it does not get accidentally deleted. Then copy and paste it to this site. You can use the school email address. Select the option to choose a specific date and put in the 12th of December, 2018.

Y6 only.

Y6 Awards.

Hello Year 6's.

Please talk with a partner or in a small group. Be REALLY creative and see what ideas you have to celebrate and GENTLY tease your teachers about the memories you have of them.

Take a look at the survey and start thinking of some funny ideas that your teachers might deserve awards for.

Once we have a good lot from the Year 6's, I will bring them back to all of you to vote on- or send out another survey.
