These play an important part in developing a culture of learning in our classroom. They allow us to identify learning role models, as well as giving us a clear vision of what great learners do.
Learner licences are not necessarily for 'high-achieving' children. They recognise those who always display a love of learning and attitudes that we truly value. Their peers have identified them as having these characteristics. An achievement to take great pride in.

Writing Process - Information Reports
We are well underway with our report writing focus.
How will we know when we have written an information report that ticks all the boxes?
This week we've been developing a better understanding of the process required. Beginning with asking the right questions and developing an understanding of the topic, through to the editing and sharing stages, we've been working our way through a step-by-step process.
This pyramid has been a guide to our learning this week. The reflective questions at each stage have provided a point for daily discussion...
In taking ownership of our learning, we have been using our general class writing process to keep track of the stage we are at. This emphasises editing routines, something we are working hard on, where we self-edit, peer-edit, then communicate that we are ready for a teacher conference (in green).

We are looking forward to sharing more of our writing in a range of mediums.

Personal Treasures
Today we shared some of our personal treasures.
We were able to share a part of ourselves with our peers. Some of the back-stories behind our items had a lot of meaning to us and represented who we are and powerful experiences we have had. From memories of loved ones who have passed away, to family stories and our interests, we learned something special about each other. In many cases, we learned something about ourselves and the diversity that is represented in our classroom.
Take a look...
Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing more family stories and experiences that have helped shape who we are.
