Postcards: T3, W1

Here are our superstar postcard winners from the first week of term 3. They have all made a fantastic start to the term. They have all been exercising their collaboration learning muscles as part of an Olympic immersion group.

Karamea has been a great group member who has stayed focus to help get tasks done.

Bella has been a fantastic leader that has made sure everyone is fully involved, contributing and enjoying themselves.

Charlie was a very good reader in the group who showed strong research and information finding skills.

Olympic Immersion

We have just begun our Olympic project based learning. For the first week, in our learning buddy groups, we completed nine immersion activities to build our knowledge of nine different aspects of the Olympics. We learnt a lot about the Olympics and we exercised our collaboration learning muscles working together. Following this, we got our own research time before choosing our own Olympic-based topic.

First Day Fun

Rimu Hub was a busy modern learning environment today. It was great to see lots of whanau in the hub this morning - the rooms were humming with excitement and anticipation.

We had a nice day together with the students. There was a lot of setting up of digital stuff - but we got there and it was so positive to see the students helping each other. One of the most fun parts of the day was the maths games rotation. The pairs of learning buddies all worked well together and showed loads of enjoyment. We also saw some pretty sharp maths skills.
