2015

We are into our second week of Term 2, 2015 and I am finally publishing my first blog post of the year!

The year has again started extremely busy.  We have had changes to our team again in Whenua, two new staff members to our team.

It has been fantastic to work together with Suz and Jess to create a fun learning environment for our learners.

We decided to take a Dr Seuss approach to our learning environment set up, beginning from the stories 'Oh the Places You'll Go' and 'Oh, The Thinks You Can Think!'

Our learners really responded to this, so we continued this into our relationship building and getting to know our students.

This theme has been continued through to our learning environments with our zones being named The Truffula Tree Forest, The Jungle of Nool and Whenuaville.

It is so great to have the enthusiasm of our students reflected in our learning environments.

We have also been using Kid President videos as a visual encourage tools for students to use of inspiration for their learning and lives.
