JIM BOB'S GUIDE TO SWIMMING

The students continue to create things inspired by water. This is an entertaining short short movie that I love - featuring characters and scenery made out of play dough. Stef and Holly demonstrate what can be achieved in a short period of time. Kei te whakahihi au i a korua - I'm really proud of you both Stef and Holly!

MAKING AUTHENTIC LEARNING CONNECTIONS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

The Water theme in the Performing Arts suite this year and the 'Raroa Enviro Focus' last year commenced with loaning an Aquarius from Capacity Infrastructure Services Limited. This helped stimulate student thinking before they were to work on their self-selected inquiries or water design projects. Check it out here.
