In Room 23 we know that we all achieve at different levels. We encourage and support everyone and celebrate our strengths. The whole class has worked really hard this term and we are achieving in a range of activities and opportunities.

It is the end of term and work is being collected for portfolios

Students are focusing on producing their best work.

I encourage students to focuses on their own level of achievement by using the terms

MUST SHOULD COULD

Students Must complete all the basic requirements of the term.

A Te Papa Report. a Christchurch earthquake report, An Uno’s Garden scientific report, an inquiry, as well as a range of other minor assignments.

Many students Should have completed the above in more detail eg. a two page scientific report, a level 4 inquiry, A more advanced Christchurch Earthquake Report.

A number a students, particularly the Year 8s Could go the extra mile. Level 4/5 written work. Extra effort on the inquiry, including use of more thinking strategies and inquiry skills. An extra term evaluation, involvement in the wiki discussion, blogged their work etc.

We also relate the above to a range of other areas. Eg. Reading, Arts etc.

We also focus on individual tasks, whereby students work towards understanding their next steps and what they should or even could aim to achieve.

Sport – Students Must be involve in school sports. A number of student should attend zone events and many could even make Interzones.
