What Did You Do At School Today?

What did you do at school today? How many times have you asked that question and got the reply “nothing”? A useful way for students to reflect on their learning experiences at school is to ask them the following questions.  

  • What’s going well at school? 
  • Which was the hardest part of your day? 
  • How did you deal with it? 
  • How else could you have done it? 
  • What could you do when you are stuck on new learning? 
  • What would have made that easier for you? 
  • What mistakes did you make that you can learn from? 
  • Is there anything else you know that might help? 
  • How could you help someone else with their learning? 
  • How did it feel when you had finished?

 

Team Pūkeko Whero Art Exhibition Whānau Open Day

Team Pūkeko Whero is excited to invite our whānau to come in and view our student artworks displayed in a special art exhibition. These artworks are part of a performance task to show their learning around creativity over the first half of the year.

What: Art Exhibition to celebrate our students’ creations

Where: Room 31/33 (Far end of the kura on the ground floor)

When: Open on Thursday 22 August from 8:30am to 4.00pm for whānau to freely come and view the artworks with their tamariki.

Please note: 

Between 9:15am and 3pm you may come directly to your child’s class, sign in there, and take your child through the exhibit, returning them to class when you are done. You will need to ensure that the teacher is made aware before you take your child and when you return them to class. Students must remain onsite at this time, going directly to and from the exhibition.
