Our Awesome Buddies

 In Room 10 we have so much fun and are learning all the time with our awesome Room 1 buddies. 

Check out how we help our buddies and how they help us to be better role models. 

 I help my buddy by teaching them to follow the instructions and playing fun games. My buddy helps me when she listens to me and we can do the right thing together. My buddy is lots of fun. Tiare and Keilia.

 I help my buddy by showing him how to do the right thing and making sure I’m a good role model. He thinks I’m like his big brother – that makes me feel happy because he looks up to me. My buddy helps me to be a better role model because I have learnt not to force him to do work but to help him and let him make choices instead of telling him what to do. Isaiah and Tony.

I help my buddy with her learning and teaching her English by showing her and saying words that she doesn’t know how to say. My buddy helps my confidence in running because I can run with her and she doesn’t worry about my asthma. Suma and Emelia.

I help my buddy by helping them to do things by themselves better. I can help them with their writing. My buddy helps me to be patient and work with him. Geordan and Ashton.

 I help my buddy by trying to be a good role model, teaching her to speak pleasantly and politely. My buddy helps me because I can now have a new friend to help in the playground. Connor and Amber.

I help my buddy by getting him to follow instructions. I ask my buddy if he knows what to do and then I do it together with him. My buddy helps me to feel good about myself because I know I am helping him. Hailey and Josh. 

 I help my buddy by talking to him and showing him the actions when we’re dancing. My buddy helps me to think about next steps – sometimes my buddy knows what to do so I have to teach him something new or extra. I have to keep thinking. Viliami and Sione.

 I help my buddy by teaching him stuff like teaching him the moves to a song or helping him to do the right thing because sometimes he doesn’t. I tell him and show him how to do the right thing. I make it fun, like a game. My buddy helps me to learn how I can help others. Dayton and Troy.

 

 I help my buddy to listen to the teacher. I help her when she is reading. I tell her to sit up nicely. She helps me to be a good role model because I can see that she copies what I do. Mary Angel and Toiahi.

I help my buddy if they’re in trouble in the playground I see if they’re all right and take them to get an ice pack. My buddy helps me to wait my turn and care about others better. Kohatu and Zara.
