Religious Education: A Pilgrim People

This week the children have been exploring in the Church Strand, 'A Pilgrim People'. The students began looking at your faith journey and how this journey may also have obstacles and detours. The children then drew a journey and some of the obstacles that may occur.

Explanation Writing

This week the children have been writing about bird migration. The students firstly watched a few clips on YouTube to see how and why birds migrate. After we talked about the topic, the children began to write an explanation. Some children found this difficult, however most children experimented with their use of language and made progress as the week progressed.

New Zealand Government

This term our topic is learning about our 'New Zealand Government' and how it works. The children have been exposed to the history of the Treaty of Waitangi and were given the task of firstly reading the information and then creating an information web. The children were surprised with the quickness that the treaty was drafted and signed - the children in Room 13 created many fantastic information webs.

Here is the work of some of the children:
