Sorting Kiwiana

We have been using Tree Maps to help us when thinking about sorting things into groups. Can you tell what we based our decisions on for these groups? We found it interesting that some things could belong to more than one group. We had to think flexibly!

This was probably our favourite activity this week. Sorting the Allsorts! It also served as a real testament to the fact that we can manage our impulsivity when we really want to!

Thinking Maps

Marvelous Marvin

Marvin, the marvelous Habits of Mind monkey (our mascot) is in residence already. We will all be learning together, using a variety of tools such as our fabulous Thinking Maps and the Habits of Mind. It will be fun learning to be independent, reflective and successful learners using these tools.
