Building Together

Did you know working together to create something is fun? Did you know that working together to create something takes a lot of skill? For those of us that complete our must do's and can do's we can have some time to build. We have to talk to one another, share the materials, listen, compromise as well as clean up when it is time.

Self Management Time Reflections

What a wonderful improvement Totara have made as they work on becoming independent self managers. As YMS Heroes we need to be able to get on with our work and take ownership for it.

Today we completed our 3rd self management time. Check out the number of us who have really stepped up in our self management. (Please note 6 students leave the class for a maths group for half an hour so they aren't expected to complete everything).

So many ticks!! Go Totara.

At the end of each self management time we sit down as a class and reflect on our learning. The questions we have to answer are: What did we do and what can we do better tomorrow.

Listen to some of us sharing our reflections.

Self Managers!

Yesterday Totara were self managers at writing time. We had to complete 3 things and tick them off as we completed them.

At the end of the time we reflected on how we self managed. Most of us felt we self managed well. 

Here is our high tech tracking system.

We will continue to work on improving our output at self management time.
