Bar Class Reflections
Describe the lesson you taught.
"I teached them how to play the guitar, it was challenging teaching them all at once, next time I would like more guitars. I learnt that I am like a teacher"
".First we taught them the basic like bowling and batting. We had a bowling practice first. They got to have 6 bowls each then they each had a turn at batting. But if they made a mistake we would teach them how to do it properly.After we finished the basics we played a game of cricket.we played on the field next to the hall.
Reflect on the lesson you taught
The enjoyable thing was we had fun doing our arts and carfts and there were heaps of smiles on our visitors faces. What was challenging was cleaning up the work and running out of glue. What i could've done was get enough glue sticks for the glue gun so it won't run out. What i learned was that teaching something about your culture can be fun and interesting.
Teaching them was fun because it gave me something to do and they enjoyed it.
It was hard teaching them and it was hard to teach Shayden how to dougie becuase his leg kept going right up. So i concentrated on his hands and body instead.
I learnt that everyone learns things differently - what i found easy, they found hard.
I found it easy but they were finding it kind of hard. I learned that its good to teach people something that they don't know.
I liked seeing them have fun on the computers.
The enjoyable thing was teaching people and being able to connect with them.
Should we use bar-class in our regular class schedule?
Yes because it would give the teachers a rest. Sometimes i am put in a group and told what im learning. It would be nice to choose.
I think kids should teach other kids to do math and reading
and writing.
yes because i learn from them better because i feel more relaxed around them.
i would like that because when you are with other people they talk about other things but teachers just only talk about what we are learning...
Yes - Because it will be really good for your friends because they will be able to listen more often.
This would be better because we could choose what we wanted to do and sometimes kids are better at teaching each other because we help each other and understand each other.If we didn't get something we could ask the teacher and then go back and teach each other...
yes because its nice learning from other kids and if i think that they have a done a good job i could let them play.
I like being taught by other kids because we can chat about other things at the same time.
I would like to be able to choose what i do. you shouldn't always have to stay in the same group and learn what the teacher wants you to.

Bar Camp Reflections
We have been having a Bar-Camp in Room 12 over the past two weeks where we have been putting on workshops and teaching each other new skills.
We put the name of our workshop on a chart and then we are allowed to go to which ever one we want to. We have had cool choices. Teach me how to dougie, change a tyre, side-stepping touch rugby, island art and gaming.
Tomorrow we are looking forward to Taiaha, more touch skills, choreography to the Lion King and wood-carving with real tools!
We use this form to design our workshops.
Here are some movies of our bar-class last week.
Today we are reflecting on our learning in another google form.

PlaydoughMation
This week we are all practicing very hard for our cultural performances that will be performed at our school's 50th Jubilee this Saturday. While we wait for our practices we are writing making and will soon start filming our animations. We have I Can Animate on one computer and we will also be trying to use the cameras and imovie apps on the ipad.
We tried out planning on page 34 or the Making Clamation in the Classroom e-book that we downloaded for free.
Our stories are ranging from renactments of the three little pigs, the opening ceremony, and even a horror story about a dark shadow!

RWC Perspectives
This week we have been discussing how different people see the same things differently.
We are exploring this in the context of the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony. Some of us were at Eden Park, some were in town, some didn't watch it at all and some were at home watching it on TV. We are writing stories and making movies illustrating our different experiences. We are also busily making an Eden park display with QR Codes. We will post pictures soon. In the meantime check out our imovies and puppetpals interpretations of this historic event.

Questions from room 12...
Do you think that any of these tricks looked easy?
Do you know the name for when a cyclist rides up a wall?
How long do you think it took for him to learn these tricks?
