Positive - What we enjoyed
Te Waka
All the songs, the singing
The Haka - the actions
He Honore
Being loud
Learning new things
Learning what the songs mean
More than 1 teacher leading
Minus - What we were challenged by
Too long
Sitting down doing actions
Losing your voice
When people don't sing and you have to be reminded
Hard actions and songs
Too loud
Sitting down for too long
We learn a bit and then we move on and we don't remember it
Ideas
Practice more
Learn one song at a time
Shorter time
Add poi and stick games
Make poi and sticks
Separate big and little kids
Learn one word at a time
Have a competition - boy/girl
Less time - 15 mins only or fortnightly or have a break in between
Everybody singing

PMI - Children's reflections on the TLC Term 2, 2014
Positive - What is working well
Working with the teacher, all the equipment, reading research, a great community, helping teachers, helping each other, art-choice, lots of friends, learning new things, maths - fun activities, new learning groups, more technology, lots of people to help you, everyone shares, the toys, the potama, the avatars, the jobs, publishing our writing, the blog, we have cool things, we are lucky, books are awesome.
Minus - What is not working so well
Teachers need to choose more groups, people don't wash their hands, toilets aren't flushed, not sharing technology, sometimes noisy, literacy games, hard to find a good game, fidgeting, need more choosing, games can be too hard, people only ply uno at maths time, people don't listen and they get distracted, then ask what we are doing, some get their own way and others don't, some people push and pull and are rough or shoving.
Ideas - What new ideas have we got
The teachers are awesome (oh my thanks!), PMP, spread the cushions out more, have a sheet of homework, continue to help each others
Unexpected - What happened that we were surprised by and loved
Future Problem Solving, the colonies, areas to tidy up, the science table, Quincy, BYOD, Art Day, goals, passing so many bricks, being challenged so much in maths, inquiry groups, avatars, Reading Cafe.

PMI - Children's reflections on Reading/Maths Rotations End Term 2 2014
Positive - what we like
Working with a teacher, Reading Eggs, going on the computer, spelling, free writing, choosing what I want (with Keryn), rotations, making it fair, read to self, free reading, maths games, reading new books, two on a computer at a time, bricks, activities.
Minus - what we are not keen on
Maths games, reading books, people not bring toys back to TLC, computers, the books are boring, free writing, felt pens are not good, rotations are too short, spelling, activities.
Ideas - new ideas
Word finds, get rid of literacy games, more maths games, more ipads, have everyone on a different station, more interesting books, more exciting rotations, have more time on each rotation, ring a rattle to show what time to swap, have breaks, allow 4 people per book, more art, more activities, learn more things, share with the class what you have been learning about, some rotations should be a choice of a few things.
Thanks everyone, this gives us ideas for changes that we will make over the holidays.
