Never Shake a baby

Today in Roots of Empathy we learned to Never Shake a Baby. Tanya showed us why by shaking an egg in a jar. We learned that a baby's brain is like the egg yolk. If you shake it, it gets damaged. By Emma

We were shocked to hear about the Earth-quake in Chile and the Tsunami scare. It reminded us of the Samoan Tsunami last year and, more recently, the cyclone that hit the Cook Islands.

Reflections:

Wiremu and Logan. Our voices were clear. We needed to manage ourselves better so that it made more sense.

Sarah and Julia. We wrote a good story. We need to speak louder.

Mele and Mereana. We think we need to speak louder. It was sad that there were people not listening propery in the background.

Siaga and Emma. Siaga had a good loud voice. We both need to look at the camera.

Water Slides - Team Building

Mrs Jorgensen set us a challenge.

We had to construct a miniture water-slide. We tested it with a marble. We had to make sure that the marble made it to the bottom without falling off the side.
We had to use many of our Key Competencies to do this. For example we had to "Manage Ourselves", "Participate and Contribute", Use our "Thinking Skills" and "Relate to Others"
