My Kiwi Quiz News Results By Yvette

This is Yvette's kiwi quiz news results. This term we have been answering the questions to the kiwi quiz news. Mis Eeles has shown us the kiwi quiz news so she should get the credit. This week I have had bad results. I scored 50%, but all the other times I did better. This is my beautiful chart.

Kiwi Kids News quiz results By Yvette

This is the classes and me and my partner (Lavinia) quiz results. We have answered 50% correct out of 10%. I believe my partner and I did well because we worked together and tried hard. I also believe we could do better next time if we watch the news every day.

Evaluating The Classroom Environment By Yvette

I am evaluating the classroom environment. I wrote down what I think works in the classroom, what doesn't work in our classroom and what would I change in the classroom and why.

My Ideal Classroom Plan by Yvette

My Ideal Classroom plan!

In my ideal classroom plan I would like bean bags in the bottom left corner of the classroom because I would be comfortable while doing my work and I would do my work faster since I am in a spot that suits my comfort. I would also like a theatre in my ideal classroom. The theatre would be a whole new room, like a room inside a room. I know with a theatre in your classroom it would be good use for watching DVD’s and a recording studio. I would put the theatre in the top right corner. I would put a wet area (art area) (a room inside a room) in my ideal classroom as well. With a wet area, we could do our artwork without worrying about paint falling on the ground because it would be in a room. In my ideal classroom I will always have desks, computers, doors, netbook cupboards, bins and whiteboards. In my ideal classroom I would want my desks to be different levels and shapes. I would like to have a low table, high table, criss cross table and single desks. I would have my desks and tables next to the whiteboard which would be in the middle(centre) of the classroom. I would also include a circle lounge and another lounge shaped as a L. The last things I would have in my ideal classroom plan is the teachers desk and a bookshelf.
