Term 2 Highlights

The things I have enjoyed about Term 2 are:- Passion Project- Because it has been fun and I have been learning different things about cars. I enjoyed collaborating with Jun and Rishi to gather information rather than being on my own. I like the way we do our learning- Because if I am stuck I can go and ask an expert, and if none are available I can put up my hand for Mr Formans help.

Dancing with Dean

WHAT?
IHBL: a hip routine
         a cha cha routine
         to combine different movements in to a dance routine to Treasure by Bruno Mars
         to combine different cha cha moves into a dance routine.
         
So What?

        My favourite movement was the robot.
        I found the 'five punches routine' the most challenging and some people stepped on my toes.
        What I enjoyed most about Dean’s teaching was …
        I feel quite confident with the dance routines we learned.

Now what?

        I would like to do further dance lessons
        I would like to learn some different types of dance

Keeping Ourselves Safe

What?  l am learning to make safe decisions.

So what? l am learning this so that I can stay safe and also to know about the different types of abuse. For example, sexual, physical, cyber, emotional, neglect, family violence.

Now what? An example of a safe decision is if I see someone bullying another student everyday I would tell them to stop and if they did not stop I would tell my teacher.
