What?
What I learn’t at the amazing May Road Trip! Was not to be shy and give things ago. Because, what happens if that is the only time you will have an opportunity to do something like that? So thats what I did, I gave things a go and made a lot of new friends. When I say a lot, I MEAN a lot.
So what?
It helped me a lot with being more confident around new people I haven’t met before. Also, since we have been doing warm up games, it gave everyone an opportunity to meet new people. Possibly some old friends that we've met before.
Now what?
Now, I am not going to be shy with other students any more, especially since I have a lot of encouragement from my brand new friends, and obviously my old friends too. Never forget your old ones!
We have been working on Genius Hour projects! For those who have not a clue of what Genius Hour projects are. It is a project that you pick any topic or passion to work on that you are really interested in! So, my Genius Hour project was about “We Wonder How Words and Numbers Work In Different Languages?” It was a lot of work to get that question, but it was worth it.
Toma- it looks like you learnt heaps from the visit to May Road School. What an awesome opportunity to work with others your age and teach them things you know :)
ReplyDeleteKia ora,
ReplyDeleteThat's just the beginning, some of us met new friends and had a tour around the school in break time. Also, we created Genius Hour Projects to work on relating to your groups topic. The way we get a group is, we have 1 note each for everyone to write what Wonder question we are really interested in learning, then the Teachers construct huge papers with one big idea e.g History, Music etc.... So all of the children pick what they think their Wonder Question is related to.
