On Friday the 28th of June, Flynn and I visited Greenpark school to help provide technical support. The class we chose was room 8 because that was Flynn's favorite teacher. We left Tauranga Intermediate School at 1:00 pm and got there at 1:10 pm. We got there just as soon as the bell rang. It was sorta weird walking in to the school I was at two years ago. We walked in the door with two packs of jelly joiners, the kids eyes lit up like fireworks. Ms Dawn (the teacher of the class) asked us to look at their class blog. When they got to the site Flynn and I were impressed, their blog had shiny or sparkly things, it had lots and lots of things that would get you to look at it. Ms Dawn asked us if we wanted to go out for a run, We looked at each other and said "yeah sure." We got out there and couldn't remember how to do it. The teacher's had a new type of system were you get cards for going past the teachers, I thought it was a good way to get the kids running, Another teacher asked if anyone wanted to use their red cards. Flynn said to me "is that for them to go first or what?" I replied saying I don't know? Then the kids went over to the P.E shed and grabbed out a ball. FREETIME. That's a good way to get the kids running, the more the run the more red cards they get.
After we finished we showed them our blogs and Online Learning Journals, and the kids look amazed. At the end of our day we gave out lollies to the kids, they walked around the tennis court's talking about what they learned. When we left I walked to mum's work and sat down on the couch. I thought "could I go to the dairy, I mean it's after school?" I went to mum and asked, she said "school's finished, ok sure come right back though" "Ok" I said. I got back with $3.00 worth of lollies and $2.00 drink.
The day I had was a really fun day with kids, that I once was. The kids were really nice they had good manners, they had good question's. I hope I get a homework challenge like this again.
Here are some pictures of us.
