The Secret of My Success

The Secret of My Success is our inquiry study (topic) this term.
Today we watched a brilliant video on Lessons in Leadership - Younger New Zealanders.
During this video there are 7 lessons and with in these lesson are further messages. We started to discuss the video and Room 8 asked to watch the video again as they had felt they had missed a few.
Watch and leave your thoughts about Leadership that I could share with my class.

Week 1

This week our focus has been learning and what it means to be a learner.  We have been exploring our expectations as a Year 7 and 8 in Morrinsville Intermediate School.

Together Room 8 put together our two brainstorms and came up with a definition for....

Learning means.....

Taking risk, applying new and prior knowledge. 

Always working to the best of your ability. 

Respecting ourselves and others around us.  Learn from our mistakes and continue to try.  

Always building our potential future self.

Welcome to Rm 8, 2016

We have had a great couple of days getting to know and understand Morrinsville Intermediate. Today we brainstormed 'what is learning and what it means to be a learner'.  As a group we came up a range of amazing ideas.

In team time we watched Mr President Pep Talk. Watch the clip again and comment on how you are going to be awesome this year.
