Get to know who your classmates are...

Michael has written three things about himself on a
piece of paper, he then put it into the balloon.

Aidan has completed his balloon and Kaea is writing his three things about himself onto a piece of paper.

We placed the balloons in a sheet like a parachute.
We stood in a circle and Mrs Rolton flung the sheet into
the air to release the balloons.

Theissen found a balloon and popped it to reveal the
information about someone in Room 12.

We all read our mystery information and tried to
figure out who it belonged to.

Some mystery information was hard to solve so we had to
talk to people to help us eliminate who it was.

Today the Room 12 class of 2012 had their first interactive discovery with learning spaces.  Some of the students were excited at the thought of using tables instead of the traditional desks.  However some were still keen to use a desk.  Some chose to sit in groups, pairs or independently, as the day unfolded students chose to move around and sit on bean bags, stand at tables and make choices for themselves about where they could learn best for that particular learning moment.  Wow - this was an amazing 1st day on our new journey of learning!
