Cycle Safety 'Action' - Session 1

Cycle Safety - Session 1

Today Room 27 started their Cycle Safety course with instructors, Anna, Kristina, Jeff, Richard and Chris from the Christchurch City Council. Our next sessions are on Tuesday and Thursday next week.

Your children learnt lots (which I'm sure they'll tell you about), and have each been given a comprehensive Cycle/Helmet Check Form. Please have a good look at this, as the instructors spent a lot of time assessing each bike and helmet.

Class Meeting Minutes 25 May 2011

These were the minutes discussed at last week's class meeting

• The first item of business was the marking pile written by Seth. He thought that the marking pile area was getting too messy so he had the idea of having a box for each subject. The class decided that would be too many boxes so we decided that we might do one for maths interchange, one for to hand out and one for to be marked. This will go ahead when Mr. Isherwood has time to visit Payless Plastics
• The second item of business was that people putting up other people's points up on the whiteboard, and it sometimes gets put up twice. The solution to this problem was solved by each group assigned each group member to write the points up or deduct. This has gone ahead and is working well.
• Singing Happy Birthday to in groups. Written by Sinead. It was decided that the group who sings the best will be awarded points for their Harry Potter Dorm, but you can't choose your own group.
• Jarred had the idea of e-mailing people in England from Jarred's old school. This will not go ahead but the people that do might be able to do that with Mr.Ish's permission.

Class Meeting Minutes 18 May 2011

These were the minutes discussed at last weeks class meeting:


Minutes: TERM 2, WEEK 3

• Mitchell felt that people were not getting a turn to say what they want to say in the class meeting when we are discussing a topic. This problem was talked about  and will hopefully not happen again. 
• Lucy had the idea of putting a 'Reminders Bubble' on the whiteboard so if you have something to remember and it might useful to others in the class before you forget write it the Reminders Bubble. Everyone is keen for this to happen
• Annoyed by name confusion, Jess and Jessica made a contract to say that we would call Jessica Charlton Jess and Jessica Brooker Jessica. Mr. Ish, Oliver and I had to sign it on behalf of the class.
• Jessica also wrote about lost items because she finds lots of lost items all over the floor she had the idea of a lost items bin and if you've lost or need to borrow something temporarily that you don't have as long as you return it if it isn't your lost item. Although        Mr. Ish said you have to be responsible.
• In Room 27 you may or may not have seen the 'Live Above The Line' poster. Callum and Mitchell suggested  blowing it up and making it bigger and Mr. Ish will shift your paper head above or below the line depending on how you are behaving. If you are above the line that's great but if you are below the line you need to step up your game.  
• Balcony Lock Out: Finally, this was a problem that we approached during the meeting that people are locking other people on the balcony. If someone sees this happening they need to  tell Mr. Ish, the person who did it will get "Louie's E's".

Class Meeting Minutes 11 May 2011

These were the ideas and issues that were discussed at last week's Class Meeting


Minutes -Term 2, Week 2

• Jessica had the idea of having a newspaper fight on a big day in. We would have to make small balls of newspaper and throw them from side to side. Room 27 was in favour of this idea

• Sinead pointed out that although we do take our shoes off, we need to take them off downstairs so we don't get the stairs dirty. We need to carry our shoes upstairs and put them on the balcony. Then some people felt that there might be an earthquake so we agreed that you can wear slippers in the class room.

• In our class if you miss behave Mr. Ish will ask. 'Have you had your warning' and if you don't the class will say. 'You do know" and the do an evil laugh. Two people felt that the evil laugh made them uncomfortable. We felt that this issue could not be ignored so now when this happens the person must say whether or not they want to be laughed at or not.  

• In early term 1. We won a game on the bus with Ms. Woods but have not get it yet due to the earthquake. A time has been sorted.
