18th Feb.

We've all been very busy getting our classroom routines organised.
Waitangi Day and Chinese New Year have given us lots of opportunities for learning and sharing. Our big focus for Social Sciences this term is cultural celebrations, using these as a window into how traditions and cultural identity are nurtured and passed on. It is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity at our school and also the correspondences between our different cultures.
Chinese Lanterns have been made and we've been honing our tikanga.
Our theme in the classroom is 'Don't Be Shy', and it has been exciting to see everyone step up and express themselves. We've made a great start to the year.
