Learning Programmes
This term we are focusing on Living Stories in which people's experiences with WW1 will be used to explore four themes. We will be discovering and creating how we express emotion through the arts - visual art, drama, dance, music and poetry. This will lead us to an exhibition at the end of the term. Our maths focus is orientation and position and then we will be moving into number strategies using addition and subtraction.
Rotations
Additional to core curriculum learning taking place on Thursdays and Fridays we also have some exciting activities added on.
Thursdays: After consultation with students and teachers we have changed our rotations to be on a Thursday instead of a Monday. All students will rotate through Te Reo (Crisanna), Sport (Merrick) and Photography (Fiona). Throughout the day individual and group music lessons with Julia and Gus will be taking place.
Fridays: Crisanna will be in school on Fridays this term. Children will be involved in some of the following: kapa haka, boys haka, girls poi, waiata, street dance and Te Reo extension. Julia will also be completing her individual and group music lesson during the morning.
Music and Mandarin will be delivered in the hub by hub teachers throughout the week.
We look forward to continuing working with you and your families this term.
Warm regards,
Mike, Erica, Demelza and Angela
