Class Newsletter Week 5, Term 1

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend.  Last week we began to focus on our learning relationships in the classroom.  A big part of our discussions were around who we work well next to, what type of environment we learn best in and who are the ones that will support us in our learning.  Here is the link to our blog where we used Padlet to share how we learn best. http://2015hpsrm3.blogspot.co.nz/2015/02/learning-relationships.html Not all of us have added to this yet, you can get your child to add or update their thoughts on here.  We would love to also see how you learn/focus best either at work or at home so in class we can see the similarities between school, home and work environments.

This coming week, we will be looking at goal setting for our learning as well as our social interactions with our peers.  This will be part of the 3-way conferences in Week 7.
