Knowing the Boy in 8A

The great aspect about being in the Middle School is walking through the building and noticing how different all of the classrooms are and seeing so many happy students. We, of 8A, want to share with you what makes us a Homeroom community.

Question Ball: This is a beach ball with questions written all over it that we pass around the room answering the questions and learning random facts about each other.

Birthday Celebrations: We acknowledge the class birthdays once a month with a treat - usually of the chocolate variety!

BMO: This is our class plant that sits in a robot pot and watches us each day.

Show, Tell and Review: Once a week a couple of students volunteer to teach us something and we write a paragraph to review and reflect on what we have learnt. So far we have learnt about WWII, Super Nintendo, a South Korean ancestral building and top surf spots in Indonesia.

Cushions: We have an array of cushions which are shared around each lesson and there is a special cushion with 'reserved' written on it which is given as a reward to a different student each day.

Flags: The 16 flags are the newest additions to our classroom; representing the wide range of backgrounds that make up the community of 8A.

Knowing every boy as an individual is an important part of every day. The students of 8A have been working hard this term to form a strong, inclusive and accepting community.
