Draw It

Draw It

 

On 1st of February we did a drawing activity called Draw It where we had a picture and we had to describe the picture to a person who had to draw it. And you are not allowed to ask questions or talk if you are the drawer.

The challenges I faced when I was the ‘describer’ was finding it difficult to describe how to draw the shape and what type of line it was (some examples: horizontal, vertical, diagonal). As the drawer we couldn't ask any questions or talk, it was really difficult! It was also hard when you didn’t understand what they meant.

I learned that you have ask questions when you need help. And you have to use gestures and when you’re the ‘describer’ you have to be precise otherwise the drawer won’t get it.

Toko School Learning Stars

At Toko School we have learning stars. They represent a set of values and beliefs that we think are important.

One of the learning stars is Personal Best. This star is about pushing yourself to do your best even when you’re struggling.

When I am doing my personal best you will see me taking the challenging path, always trying to do my best, asking for help when I need it. Always trying to have an I can attitude, taking care of each other and my belongings and to think and figure out different ways to complete the problem even if it was difficult. Also communicating well in a group even if I don’t work with some of the people very often.

Another one of the learning stars is Connected. This star is about taking ownership and participating.

When I am being connected you will see me making sure my words or actions don’t affect anyone, being involved in things happening around me such as paying attention when I’m in a group or helping out with an event. I will also, be taking ownership of my learning an example is making the right decisions, seeking responsibilities and taking on roles and working as a team. Also making sure everyone feels like that they are part of the team or group.
