Reading Behaviours

Today we have revisited this and really 
explored what these goals look like and 
how a learner would behave.

Kahikatea First Reading Goals

These are the behaviours that help you to 
become a better reader.

Select one focus that you think you need 
to work on to become a better reader.

Posting to See Saw

As a Hub, we brainstormed some guidelines for creating posts on SeeSaw.

Here are the guidelines we agreed on:

Te Pepeha - Govett Brewster Art gallery

 

One of the activities we completed at the Art gallery today was representing some of our Pepeha by using different things on a piece of drift wood. These will be displayed in Kahikatea.
 

Our School Pepeha

Can you see the triangular shape to represent our Mounga? The tin has patterns etched into it that also went around the drift wood to represent our Awa 
Ribbon was use to represnt Te Atiawa our iwi.

'Read to Self' in class discussion.

Today a group of students discussed their own personal reading in class. We talked about what their job was and what they wanted the teacher to do.

WIT- Wildly Important Task

Today our Hub started their first WIT for the year. WIT stands or Wildly Important Task. We use a learning model called Te Ara Tika to help us complete the task.

This WIT is an art WIT where our learners will have to learn about an art style, practice the skills involved and then create an artwork about something they are passionate about or interested in. We are looking forward to seeing a whole Hub full of different artworks, each special and unique to the artist. This is just how artists in the real world work!


Here is the WIT book we use with students:
