Week 1 may have been a short week for the students but it certainly was a fun week in our class. This week we focused on developing relationships, establishing routines and structures, working together on decorating our classroom and having fun. We laughed - a lot - and started the beginning of what looks like an amazing year.
Our very first activity was sharing a random fact about ourselves and then throwing the ball of string to create a web. We discussed that even though we are all different, unique and random in some ways, this year we are all connected and need to work together to create a safe, happy environment.

We also completed a brainstorm, the good old fashion way, on what makes a great class mate. There were some great answers and some interesting ones too.
We enjoyed having access to all the iPads and used these to contribute to questions posed by Mrs Walsh on Padlet.
Overall, a great week and lots of fun. Looking forward to an awesome year this year. Welcome 5/6J!
