Week 4 already

Kia Ora All

Well we can't believe it is week 4 already. There is a buzz in the class with the upcoming disco on Thursday. Today is crunch time for most of the class as they are presenting their powerpoints and movies on the differences between students here and students in Zambia. I will be assessing them on their team work, research skills and accuracy of Information. We are all looking forward to seeing them share their ideas. Thursday is really going to be an action packed day with our class making it throuh in the school talent show. So can you imagine what my day on Thursday is going to be like!!!!

Next week we are starting our Action learning Research where groups will formulate their own questions and then work together to create a social action to answer and support their topic.

We are also doing really well in the cross countrey competition and house points.

Will keep you posted.

I am Whaea Vanessa and I am the teacher of this great class. This term we are looking at Amazing Africa as I have just returned from a teaching exchange in Zambia. We are looking at Global Communities with our focus on students taking responsibility for their world and uniting students within a global community.

we have a dynamic class with a great variety of talents. We have the cross country champion Aidan Nairn, Basketball super star Elyus Soloman who has represented our region, Kirsten Plowman a champion dancer in jazz and hip hop the list goes on. I will share more of these success stories as time goes on and so will the students.

This blog is really for any students who want to see what is going on in our great town Rotorua and Country New Zealand.

Please add responses to the students blogs
