Matariki Celebrations


Some of the students are leading their learning by becoming teachers! They have planned a Matariki Celebration Day and decided activities and stories they will read. It is wonderful to see such leading of their learning. 
So far we have had waiata, a whakatauki, story telling and weaving. All this...before morning tea! Awesome.

It's in the details

Here are a few pictures showing some details of the barn some students are making for reading. They are participating in a wonderful chapter chat using Charlottes Web as a motivator. 



A hive of activity- before school learning

This morning we got started on our work at 8.30am! This shows real agency of learning by the students. They were all busy making, chatting and problem solving. Happy Friday Room18 families!
