Quality...

Today we started our thinking about quality, what we think it means and how we can achieve it. One of our school values is excellence and quality is connected to that.

Here are some of our thoughts:

How do I know something is quality?

• by checking. Bella S.
• by asking Caitlin
• by looking at it, Sineha
• by asking a teacher, Isaac
• it looks like good quality.
• it is neat, Danielle
• it is magic
• ask someone brainy, Emma T.
• you have never done work like that, Emma
• it looks like you wanted it to, Max
• you get stickers on your work, Bella
• it is finished in time, Bella
• a friend or teachers tells you it is good
• you feel very, very happy, Lachlan
• it is in my red folder, Anton
• no white spaces (art), Jake

Why should I try and achieve quality?

• so you get better at things, Jesse
• so it looks good, Bella
• you will be able to take it to Mrs Warren
• so you can get a certificate, Koby
• people will think you are clever and arty, Jake
• because then you can get better at what it is you are trying to do, Bella S.
• then you won't make many mistakes, Caitlin
• to show people your work, Sineha

Something I have done that is quality is...

• playing nicely, Bella
• getting house points
• playing with my cousins, Anton
• jumps on my scooter, Jake
• making a car out of wood, Lachlan
• spelling, Akki
• reading and handwriting, Koby
• artwork, George
• building a bike jump, Jesse
• rollerblading
• doing drawing, Liam, Oliver, Emma
• building with stuff, Oliver
• reading, Sineha
• tracing and colouring in, Caitlin
• biking and scootering, Danielle
• swimming, Samantha

What do we mean by quality?

• good work, Danielle and Estella
• great work and trying hard, Bella S.
• trying your best, Oliver
• it will last for a long time, Max
• it is the best one
• your neatest work
• the answers are right (maths)
• nice work, Anton
• awesome work, Jake
• something that looks very good, Bella
• the best you have ever done, George
• it does exactly what it is meant to do, Will

What questions can we ask to achieve quality?

• ask the shop keeper if they sell something that is quality, Ben and Samantha
• I am neat? Caitlin
• ask people who know, Bella
• Is this my best?
• Can you check my work please? Akki
• Can I have some help please? Anton
• What do we need to do this job? Jake
