Final Comments

Ebony's Comment:
The Digi-nauts have had a fantastic term full of many great experiences to start the year off well. Swimming Sports and Buddy Challenge Day were some highlights. Our focus this term has been around building positive relationships with others. This included how the children interacted in the classroom, and creating some rules as a class that would ensure we have a positive learning space.  Starting individual blogs has also been a big part of learning about themselves as learners. Following instructions and self management has been really important to create a successful blog or e-portfolio.  You might ask your child how well they think they did with this. All the children can be proud of the persistence shown with this and support they have given one another to post, upload photos and embed codes. We look forward to sharing our learning with you.

Tane you are fantastic at following instructions and managing your learning independently. It is great that you know when to ask for help and you feel confident to do this now. You can be proud of how much effort you put into a task. Great work, keep it up!

In the weekend I saw Sophie W at  Lazer Tag. I went to Lazer Tag because It was Jack's Birthday. Sophie's Brother Jack turn 6 years old. I got 780 points. After that we went to Mcdonalds. I got a Happy meal. I got a burger chips and coke. When we finshed, we got some ice-cream. There were 6 people. With my happy meal, I got a Panda book. When the party was finshed, I ate my ice-cream at home. It was yummy! Sophie's Brother Jack is from Russell Street School. When my mum and my sister picked me up, my sister got an ice-cream too. Then my sister did not want an ice-cream because she wanted Mcdonalds too.

Ebony says: What a great story Tane. I like how you added lots of details about who was there, what you did and where you did it. I wonder what it was like playing Laser Tag? Does it hurt? I would love to know more about this.
