Bike Safety with Constable Tonkin
Last week Constable Tonkin came in to teach us about being safe on our bikes. Bike safety and helmet checks, as well as safe biking skills were all part of the programme.

Genius Hour Wrap-up for 2015
Here is a list of the students' initial driving questions, though some of these have changed during the course of this project.
- Can we educate people about horses so they can be safe around them?
- Can we make a dress and use it to inspire others to do something other than throwing rubbish away?
- Can we make our own original screen prints to sell and donate the money for charity?
- To make a Powerpoint to educate people on taekwondo
- Can we make a cardboard tent by recycling old boxes?
- Can I make a sheath out of leather using leatherwork skills?
- Can I make intricate christmas decorations using all different materials?
- Can we make a good looking outfit using recycled materials?
- Can we design and make a trolley for the trolley derby?
- How can I beautify the school using recycled fabric and cardboard?
- Can I inform people about Athletics?
We have just about wrapped up Genius Hour for this term and it has been a learning curve as well as a 'work in progress' for all of us. The kids have given feedback via a survey form with all of them giving GH a rating of 3 or more on a scale of 5 (5 = brilliant learning opportunity).
Together, we will come up with a plan to make improvements to Genius Hour in an effort to create a fruitful learning experience for all students. Watch this space!
Do take a moment to check out their mahi in this blog, and it would be great if you can also leave a comment.
