In Primary 6, we made PowerPoint presentations with information all about ourselves. At the end, we shared them with partners during a paired talk. We knew what to include based on Miss Cook’s presentation and we created our success criteria together so that we had shared goals and knew how to get there.

We also made visuals to show how we wanted our classroom to be and feel. We drew 5 pictures to match our chosen ideas that we felt were important to us. We included that we wanted to feel Happy, Creative, Valued and we also involved all of the SHANARRI Indicators.

We learned about United Nation’s Convention’s rights of the child, we picked rights that we wanted to be central in our Classroom and make a priority in our Class Charter. All of us had picked Article 24, which focuses on our overall health and the safety of our environments. After voting in our groups and sharing back, we have chosen Article’s 27, 24, 19 and 12 to feature in our Class Charter.

Lastly, we all enjoyed a well-deserved brain break in-between creating our self-portraits on Thursday afternoon. We did a dance that we have named ‘the crab dance’. It was lots of fun, we even had a whole class conga!
