Key ideas from Island Bay School
- Dogs in the classroom-Yay! Great way to see students caring for animals.
- Growth mind set-this was something new and exciting to Marama this year so it was really interesting seeing it at Island Bay. They had really positive 'kids talk' ideas for each.
- An integrated curriculum- Having an inquiry focus e.g- relationships, then using the arts, Literacy and maths to make more connections with their learning.
- P.E & Health, Science, Technology and Science as the driver of inquiry and then integrate the other areas of the curriculum through this.
- Guardian group-like our homerooms.
- First an idea. then new learning and then understanding.
- Karen-staff member who works a lot with inquiries. For example-refugees setting up a display in the learning hub/library, plants/nature-organising plant boxes and gardens etc. Awesome to work along side with teachers when working on inquiries and passion projects.
- Prove it-I like this idea of learning and understanding something then proving it.
