I wonder...

I wonder...

Charlie H.

• "What the white thing is... is it the clouds that they just came out of or is it the smoke coming out the back?
• "Is it just the clouds or is it the world we can see?  Or is it both?"
• "Are the people wearing safety clothes or just normal clothes?"
• "Does it have a little see-through roof or is it just their head poking out in the fresh air?"

Micah

• "Why do airplanes have wings?"
• "Why do they have the little thing that points out like a little spinner (needle)?"
• "Do they have things like when they're driving a car (steering wheel)?"
• "If they have boosters to go fast?"

Thomas

• "Why they have a little wing on the back?"
• "Why they they go so high?"
• "If they have a parachute if they bump and fall out?"

Determination and Reflection in Maths

Ashlee and Riley have been particularly determined.  They were both stretched in their maths learning and had to show determination to keep on going.  They used self-talk to remind themselves to keep going and not to give up!

How we used the Learner Qualities in Cross Country

Independent Superstars!

We have an amazing bunch of learners in Hub One!

"I always give my dad a high five out of the school, then I go to the school and go to the classroom and then I put my bag away myself" - Charlie S.

"I put my bag away all myself and my book bag and my drink bottle" - Jacqueline

It's good to be independent because "you will learn doing things on your own because if your parents go away and they help you, you won't know what to do" - Jahvan

"I feel good because I like it when I'm doing things myself" - Margot

"I will do it myself because if my mum does it, my mum will don't be proud of me.  If mummy's be in the car, she will be proud" - Kaichi

"My mummy doesn't help me put my stuff away.  I do it by myself.  I put my bag away and my drink bottle and my book bag" - Emily S.

"I haven't been at school very long but my mummy and daddy don't pack my stuff away.  I do it myself.  They just drop me off and that's why I do it myself every morning" - Aurelia


Here in LH1 we are independent in the mornings.  We do the following things:

• I put my drink bottle away
• I put my book bag away
• I put my school bag away
• I say goodbye to mummy or daddy (or whomever is dropping me off) and then
• I choose some learning or something to play with until the bell goes.

We talked about being self-aware in the mornings and suggested that our more confident learners might even be inclusive and help the younger learners out in the morning if required.

Can you help us to grow the independence of the Learning Hub One students?
