So I had the kids tells me two things:
- What did they like about RATS
- What would they improve
I also got them to make posters to represent their teams and we have put them up on the classroom walls.
The feedback from the kids and teachers that help supervise RATS has been great and I am now preparing a report for the school to see if we can extend it as a regular program for teachers at least in Primary school if not above.
I presented the winners with a trophy that they could put their names on and I also gave out a "best team" trophy. These are just old trophy's of mine ( I knew they would eventually come in handy Dad! It has just taken 30 years!).
The kids loved it with only one kid not enjoying it. I had a talk to him and we have agreed that he needs to "try" as he is going into many things as negative. Mrs C. was listening into the conversation I had with him and liked it. I have started building Episode 2 and also automating the material so that teachers can just input the questions, the area where they will go (eg. Gym, Hall etc) and then hit print.
Sad to see another week go by ... I asked the kids if they wanted to come in on Saturday and Sunday to learn, they said "no!" ... I do not understand.
I also ran the spelling test and the new spelling words lesson in the morning and afternoon. Easier words this week ... 'kaleidoscope' was doing my head in last week.
Lastly, we got to the 'Goal setting' lesson that Mrs C. has been wanting to run before I came for Prac. I got the chance to talk about Tim Levy's 'The Life Summit' book that is fantastic for goal setting - the kids loved how Tim is overseas doing his passion after achieving many of his goals - the book is a great read too (and yes, Tim is my cousin and yes, it is a great read!)
