Buddy Day

Buddy Day is next Friday 15th November. What is Buddy Day?

We have been very busy. First we had to create our buddy's story. In our groups we brainstormed our ideas to create our buddies. Brainstorming our buddies and their characteristics. We then published all this in their diaries.

Once we completed this step we were ready to start creating. This was the fun part. Here are a few photos of our masterpieces. You will find more on our class site.  We are all looking forward to following our buddies on their journey this Friday.

Creating clothing for their buddy.

Applying a second coat.


Everyone is so busy and engaged.
Delicately working on facial features.


Doing some research to help choose a face.

Cutting out facial features.

Writing in the diary.

What next in Room 27?

We still have a few students working on the big finale or rich task. Stay posted to see how these go.

Our weekly RAKs are over, but I've noticed that it has become habit now to notice the opportunity to help someone and stepping up to do so. Karishma misplaced her ipad on Thursday and the majority of students went well beyond expectations to help her find it, even at the risk of missing buses. The students of Room 27 should feel pretty proud of the type of people they are and the virtues they all possess, from helpfulness to honesty.

So the next big things on our calendar are our RAK road trip, Buddy Day and our Odyssey night. Keep watching my blog to see how these big events unfold.
