Introducing Our Community

 
We took 'selfie' photos and then drew them the best we could!
 
 
 
 
 
Our community needed a name
 
 
 
 
Thunder (Ovalata) and Watch dog (Tupou)
 
 
The winning name is THUNDER, winning 13 votes to 7.
 
We all designed our own signs and names, and then as a class we voted on the top 4. Ms McDonell chose her favourite two, Mr Toomer said he couldn't decide on the best one because they were both so good so we decided to do a class vote to find a winner.
 
Congratulations to Ovalata who's design won! $1000 has been added to your bank account and you will get to select two friends to help you paint your design on the community sign for all to see.
 




Today we had a class debate about cell phones in schools. We started by reading an article about the pros and cons of having cell phones in schools. We were then split into 3 groups: Parents, Teachers, and Students. We had to decided if we agreed or not from the perspective of group we were in.

In our community each table group is like a real life street. We have come up with street names and will be painting them on our wooden street signs that sit on our tables.


 
Thunder is a community with values and rules that have been established and agreed upon by all members.
