A Little About Awesome Room 1

Room 1 is at wairakei school in Christchurch NZ, Room 1 is home to year 5/6's, with the best teacher in the world. 

In room 1 we have a system called "room 1 settings" like iPad settings (bullying turned off, Hard work turned on). We are all independent learners and can manage our own learning. In room 1 we all can help each other to improve our learning. When we work together we are all awesome.

Room 1 is a free desked and free flowing class room. We are a B.Y.O.D class room. When we are doing B.Y.O.D.before we started B.Y.O.D we had to sign a form that clearly stated that we will not play any non-school related games.If we play any non school related games our iPad will be taken off us.

Must' do-can' dos are a learning source in one setting (maths, reading E.T.C). We have a list of must' dos and can' dos all the must' dos must be done in the time frame that we have. But if we finish early we gat to do the can' dos wich are like maths and reading games.

Isn't room 1 awesome, I hope you now know what a great place room 1 is.
