A great start to the week. We are lucky enough to work with Matua Araz every Monday this term. Today we learnt about our Mihi mihi, Pepeha and he taught us a new waiata. This term we have Mrs Kellie from AUT who is completing her final practicum with Room 17 at Marina View School. We wish her all the best and we know that she will have a fabulous time! Here is Rico with his homework from last term.  Can you believe he worked with his grandmother and made a pair of boxers?  Ka pai Rico! Here is Indiana, she too did some sewing for her home-learning over the holidays. Indy made a top with her mum. NUI TE MAHI (Great job). GoNoodle time!

Congratulations to Isla for getting an award in music from Mrs Sinclair.  Here's our first go at Reciprocal Reading. We'll be doing more next term. Reciprocal Reading is where the students become the teacher in small group reading sessions.  Students learn to guide group discussions using four strategies: summarizing, question generating, clarifying and predicting.  

Week 10 - Nearly at the end of the term :-/

Active Learners This week we are refocusing on what it means to be an ACTIVE LEARNER vs a PASSIVE learner. The students have brainstormed their ideas and made some great connections to the KEY COMPETENCIES. Ask your child about what the differences are!
