Play Eat Learn

At the start of this term our timetable changed. We started doing this thing called play eat learn. So at morning tea instead of eating first we go outside and play then we come back inside then we eat together as a hub. At lunch we also do the same thing but we read a story instead of talking.

Here is a PMI chart of what I think of the knew timetable,

Positive	Minus	Interesting
We get to play for longer	We don’t get as much time to eat	It is new and exciting and different
	We get hungry well we play
	There is not as much time at code club

As you can see I don't like the new time table as much as the old one but it is different and we have to get used to it. Even though some people like it I don't. Another thing about play eat learn that has been introduced is, think to drink, drink to think. We all got drink bottles and the aim is to drink 2 whole bottles a day.  I will have more on this is another post but thanks for reading and see you soon!

Comment Question: What do you think about the new timetable?

School Trip To Margret Mahy Playgoround And Imagination Staion

On Monday the 21 of August Tumu Hub went to four different places for PBL. Imagination station, Biz Dojo, Core Education and the St Martins Community Center and Hill View School hall.

I went to Imagination station in town. There we split into groups of four or five and we all had a role to play in the group. I was the town banker who got all the bricks. Some of the other jobs were, Mayor, Environment officer and safety officer.  All the jobs were important and had a purpose. After we got our job we had to go and get a base for our town. There was a colour chart were each colour block represented a different building like red was houses. There was 5 other blocks that we could chose what they meant. So after we had chosen what they meant we had to start building. Halfway through we had ran out of blocks so we couldn't finish, but it was really fun. 

Something I learnt form building the town was that everything that goes into a building is important for the finished product. 

After we had finished at the imagination station we walked down the road to meet the rest of the Tumu hub team at the Margaret Mahy playground. We played and ate lunch there before getting into our PBL groups for a scavenger hunt. Margret Mahy is so cool and we were really lucky to be able to go there.

Have you ever been to Margaret Mahy Playground?
