Habitat 10 Bayview School 2017
Thursday, July 20, 2017
Over the holiday I spent a bit of time thinking about student agency and came across a video about a student who was designing his own curriculum by following his passions. The steps he took to carry out his project is very interesting.

Shared Novel
Jave is taking a turn at reading the class novel, Under the Mountain by Maurice Gee, to Habitat 10. Other students have also read to us and we sometimes go outside and sit in the shade of a tree to hear Mrs Millett read the story. We are getting up to the exciting parts now.
The book was sent to the class from the Kelloggs and New World books in schools competition. Hopefully we get some nice new books for the school library after the competition ends at the end of March. Just pop up to Albany New World buy two Kelloggs products, drop you docket into the Bayview School box and we get a free book. That easy!

Circle Time
We have been having Circle Time every Wednesday with Lynley. During this time we have been getting to know each other through games and learning how to take turns and respect others point of view. We have talked about the brain, identified different emotions by looking at body language and facial expressions. We discussed ways that we can identify positive and negative thoughts by being "thought detectives". All the activities are fun and engaging.
