Secret Buddy

Yesterday, the teacher next door was talking about secrets as part of the Child Protection Curriculum. She began with talking about secrets and then they identified 5 people they could tell their 'sad secrets'. I was pleased that I had made the cut and that students felt that I was someone that they could trust. 

Today I received this beautiful flower and note, which was made for each person the child trusted with their secrets. 

 It reads " Dear Ms Hiedi, I have picked you to be my Secret Buddy. A Secret Buddy helps me with any secrets that make me sad. If I feel someone is hurting me I will tell you. From _______"

Our Finished Transport Mural

In an earlier post I showed our transport mural ready for our transport to be glued on. Over the term we added modes of transport and it is now finally complete.

Most are drawings that were cut out and glued onto the picture. The boats in the water are origami boats and it was a great lesson learning how to make them.

My students also work closely with the teacher next door and her students are also with me for some portion of the day, so this is a mix of all their work. Next door, they had the display below.
