Term 3
Years 7 and 8 students will be spending the Term working on group projects to enhance the School Environment. The students have planned what they want to do and the materials have been bought. Projects have been chosen that allow the students to use skills already learnt, as well as to add new ones to their repertoir. They have been able to pick projects of interest to them. Later in the term we will showcase what they have achieved.
Projects include:
Billy carts
Jigsaw Puzzles
Classroom Cushions
Dolls Houses
Bird Houses
Murals
Games
Costumes for the Production
Years 5 and 6: Room 15 will be painting and making cushions, making African masks, and making 3D letters, and will be cooking towards the end of the 6 weeks. Room 14 will begin their 6 weeks in week 6 and will carry on for the first week of Term 4.
The students in the Rimu team all have lessons in the Learning Pathways Centre (LPC for short). For the Years 7 and 8 students their learning is in the Curriculum areas of Technology, Science and Visual Art. They attend one day per week for the whole year.
