Local Values

At Wesley Primary our values are respectful and responsible. We wanted to know what values local businesses had so we wrote to some of them. The Warehouse and Coffee Club kindly replied and shared their values with us. We then compared their values with our own (along with our graduate profile) to see if they were similar. This is what we found out...

NYLD 2018

This week our Kea class captains went to National Young Leaders Day. We heard lots of awesome speakers and got plenty of good advice about thinking like a leader. One of my top tips was to try and look for chances to tell people what they are good at.

MOTAT

Last Friday the Kea and Hoiho teams visited MOTAT to have a lesson on Fantastic Flight. We also explored the Simple Machines and Gearing Up exhibitions and had a ride on the tram. Can any Wesley students share what they learnt on the trip?

Jagged Smackdowns

We are all different. This week in Room 3 we have been working on our jagged profiles. This includes skills like listening, speaking, collaborating and being organised. We shared what we learnt with a one minute smackdown. Here are the slides we created with a few pictures of students sharing their work.

Students Sharing Subtraction Strategies

This week Room 3 have been collaborating to make some resources for other teachers to use to teach subtraction. Check out all the different strategies we have learnt this term! Which one would you use to solve these problems?

Resilience Writing

For the last few weeks we have been learning a lot about being resilient. We collaborated with some buddies to write some stories about how a made up character (Ronnie) showed resilience. He might BEND but he will not BREAK!

Touch!

Well done to the boys and girls in our touch teams who had an awesome time at the Eden Albert Zone day on Thursday. They represented our school amazingly, showed great sportsmanship and worked so well together. Here's our boys team who came 5th in their grade after a 1-0 win in their play-off (sorry I don't have any pictures of the girls' team).
