Afternoon All Looking ahead to week 9, on Tuesday 19th the senior school has their Mihi Whakatau (sharing of their student led inquiries). This will be from 1:30-2:30pm. Students have been working hard on researching their big questions this term which are centred around our school wide focus of 'Significance'. Please note that this year the Mihi Wahakatau does not have the same emphasis as it has had in previous years, with many homerooms and students having shared their learning in different ways throughout the term. This is because our inquiry sharing as a school is also linked to the sharing and presentation of our whole school production in Week 10. You are of course still very welcome to come in on Tues afternoon (in week 9) and see what our excited and hard working explorers have been up to.

Wow, what an amazing day! All of the Te Kohanga Explorers did themselves proud by collaborating, thinking and contributing. Below are some snaps of the day.

Please make sure you are learning your dance moves for the school production, the full dance is on  google classroom,  so you can learn at home as well.  Calendar art is almost finished - please come and have a look. Orders will need to be done by week 9. A few things that might be useful to help with learning at home... Maths  - students are exploring problem solving and probability fractions, ratios, percentages and decimals.  Explorers are trying hard to increase their speed and accuracy through multiplication and division. Literacy  - Focusing on using descriptive language to show not tell the reader. Developing  a non chronological report to showcase their learning through their personal inquiries.  Mrs Alton will be joining Te Kohanaga Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
