Term 2 - going with the flow!

Term One was an exceptional term for Room 22 I am thrilled at the enthusiasm and motivation of the class. Everyone has stepped up and has really focused on giving everything their best efforts.
The classroom looks and feels wonderful, lots of happy, supportive students all focused on achievement.

this term is an environmentally focussed term – Take Action for Water.

Big Idea is – “To understand the need to protect and preserve our local environment and action decisions.”
Key Concept: To understand the importance of being kaitiaki (guardians) of the environment, and that our waterways are interconnected and have mauri (life force)

The platform for learning will be the “TAKE ACTION FOR WATER” programme, which is an exciting unit supported by Greater Wellington Regional Council. Take Action for Water is an environmental education programme developed in order to give students the opportunity to learn about the value of water, preserve our most important resource and take action to keep the environment healthy and clean. The unit develops children’s environmental awareness and teaches the skills needed to act responsibly for the world.
