School Values

Kia ora e te whānau o Te Puawai

This week we have started our learning on explanation writing.

Today we watched a couple of videos and had a class kōrero about what explanation writing is.

Next we split into five groups to work collaboratively, each group had one school value to focus on.  The task was to explain what each value means and write examples of demonstrating this value at Paparore School.

Our next learning step was to choose the one school value they feel most strongly about and to independently write a paragraph explaining what that school value means and specific examples they have seen in action at our kura.  Once we have written our paragraphs we revisit our writing process of recrafting, editing and then publishing.

Here are some photos of our collaborative task which was our planning for our writing.

Can you share any examples of our school values being demonstrated that you have seen?

  

 

Harold Visit Week 3

In week 3 Harold came to visit Paparore school. In our first visit we learnt about Te Whare Tapa Whā. Te Puawai sat nicely and quietly listening to the instructor teach us. They were especially great at offering Harold advice with his problem.

Comments from the students of Te Puawai:

“We learned about kindness, how to be kind – don’t lie… It was fun!” – Preet.

“She told us what about the things (neurons) in our body” – Mason.

“It was cool when she turned the stars on and the yellow lights that made our clothes glow” – Esme.

“We watched a video about two girls who were going to steal. The mean girl told the other girl to steal but the other girl thought it was wrong. Stealing is not okay” – Elena.
