Term 3 shapes up this way...

Term 3 is shaping up well.  Our focus this term will be on “Our People, Our Future – Cultural Sustainability”  - again our reading, writing and art will come through this inquiry.   Mathematics focus will continue along number strategies and a focus on algebra with some geometry. 

Week 1 we start with Tech week – be at school by 8.30 to catch the bus 8.45.

The afternoons will be a Matariki whole school Te Reo focus, whereby we will buddy up with out buddy class and move around different classrooms/activities every afternoon.

Week 2 Monday we have a trip planned to the Dowse Museum looking specifically at Matatoki: Contemporary Maori Carving.

Later we will be show casing our models from the Energy unit. 

After this we will begin our learning with the Glasgow Commonwealth Games featuring a look into the Scottish culture (amongst others).  Alongside this we will continue our immersion emphasis on Maori culture and heritage.  

The student’s passion projects will kick in about week 5 whereby they will choose a culture to follow that is of interest to them.  

Week 4 Maths week

Week 6 Student Led Conferences - hope to see you all over the week.

Week 9 will be production week – a sustainability focused play called  “A Breath of Fresh Air” – about saving our planet.

Week 10 we have planned a food festival and activity showcase for the final week of term, a nice way to wind down.
