Week 5 reflections

Sorry I was a bit late getting our reflections up from last week. I like how many people in Room 8 are able to write two positive thoughts about the week and one thing they'd like to improve. Room 8 had an amazing week! Miss Bolton.

Learning about Asthma

Today Paerata School learned about asthma.  Chris and Sailor the Puffer Fish came to explain to us what asthma is and how we can help people who suffer from asthma.

Room 8 learned a lot, after the show we put together this slideshow.  We hope you learn something about asthma by watching our slideshow.

Bullying has to STOP

Take a long hard look at yourselve's people.Are you a bully ?.Are you the kind of person who likes to make people suffer.If you are,then why do you really make people feel horrible.Think about that question.It doesn't matter if it's a kid,a friend,a loved one or even your teachers and principal.It is NOT good.Kids all around are terryfied of bullies.Arguments lead to fights,fights lead to bullying and bullying leads to the ultimate consequence . . . suicidal thought and suicaidal thoughts lead to death,pain and blood . . .And if you had to bare with the fact that someone had killed or hurt themselves because you bullied them,your life would never be the same again.You can't bully if everyone you bully is dead.But you do have a chance to change.You can stop by saying these 5 simple words."I will never bully again".That can change everything.People won't beleive you at first,but you can show them you're different.You can change.think about it.

You don't want to do this to someone.

Growth mindset - The Power of Yet!

Room 8 has been learning about what a growth mindset is this week.  When Miss Bolton was away at her MST days, she learned a lot about what a growth mindset is, so she has decided to teach us about it too!

A growth mindset is all about how you think about learning - you might say "I don't know how to do that yet"  or you will give something a go and if you fail you will learn from your mistake and try
again.

If you say you can't do something, or you won't give it a go because you might fail - that is a fixed mindset.

Watch this clip - how does it relate to having a growth mindset?
