Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Ava, Kavish, William, Jiani and Stephan worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and discuss their options.  William, Ava and Kavish showed real leadership capabilities and offered a lot of support to Stephan, especially with learning how to sign his name in NZSL.  Jiani and Stephan showed their curiosity while asking questions during the logo challenge.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- learning to sign their names, the Connected challenge- writing an acrostic for the word connected and the Capable task of drawing the school logo with chalk.  There was some great role modeling, strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!
