First Day of Exhibition






We focused today about how to think deeper about who we really are, we saw some video clips about teamwork and how every person in a team has a job, not just the people in the limelight. Sam Johnson, the founder of the Student Army, came and spoke to us about how helping isn't necessarily about making money but how every small action helps. We can think about how we can play a part in a change to Christchurch. He talked to us about his travels, the United Nations, and his experiences. We are now thinking about the different projects we might do for Exhibition, we need to open up this opportunity to the people in our community. 
Florencia, Ella S and Georgina.

We played a game that Sam learnt in India, then Sam spoke to us about his experience, we videoed some of the clips here.




Here are the links to some of the videos we watched.

    Exhibition - such an exciting time! I will be interested to see what sorts of change-making actions you develop. It would be interesting to have links to one or two of the clips that you viewed.
    btw - I love the Student Army - they really helped me after the quakes.

    I would have loved to meet Sam. He looks like a very inspiring and interesting person. I didn't realise he had travelled so much and has met so many important people. Rianne Bonnett

    Hi Year 6,
    I can't wait to see all your exhibition projects, I remember it was so much fun and exciting! I think It really gets you prepared for personal project and a little bit for leadership because you have to show good organisation and team work skills.

    Hi year 6's

    It sounds like you are really enjoying exhibition. In exhibition you learn a lot of skills including how to work in a team and also communication skills. I remember doing exhibition in year 6 and it was a lot of fun especially working in a team with other people. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your exhibitions.

    Hello year 6, I can't wait to see your Exhibition projects as I remember the fun and challenging times I had doing Exhibition myself. Exhibition is a great way to prepare you for personal project as it develops your responsibility, collaboration and organisation skills. Some tips for Exhibition are: Think outside the box, the more creative the more fun it is for you and all the viewers and do not choose your theme by who is in your group because sure you could be with your friends but it is very boring doing a subject that you are not interested in.
