Reflecting... 💭

We are always reflecting on our learning in Tui class. At the end of each day we chat about something we found interesting, something new we discovered, something we found challenging or an act of kindness we saw.... Last week we stepped this up by creating our own digital weekly review ..."A Peek at the Week". The prompts for the week go up on Monday so that the children have these in mind as the week goes by.

Tui kids are able to get creative on Google Draw with their weekly review. We then share these reflections to our blogs.

Reflection is important, it helps us to set new goals and think about ourselves, our progress, and challenges in our learning. It also really helps us when our big people ask how our day was!! We can share more than just... "gooooooooooooood"

G.R.E.A.T

Today is Marcellin Day.  Marcellin is the name of one of our whanau groups and he is also a saint.
We celebrate Marcellin Day by giving service.
This morning at Mass, Father discussed what it means to give service and be 'great'.
He gave us an acronym to help us to remember how to be great.

G - Generous.
Be generous with your time, be generous with your words, be generous with your kindness and service.

R - Reliable.
Be the kind of person people can rely upon.  When you say or offer something, follow through.  Keep your word. Make sure people can trust that you will be there for them.

E - Encourage.
Encourage others, be supportive, be kind, give put ups and affirmation.

A - Accepting.
Accept others without judgement.  Be respectful of differences. Understand that we all have different opinions and ideas, we all are individual and unique and that's OK!

T - Thankful.
Be grateful for all that you have.  Acknowledge what you have and thank all who have contributed to it.

We had some amazing discussion in class after Mass about how to be GREAT.  Tui kids completed an activity in their Faith Journals to remind them 😇
