Talk 2 Write

We have started using talk to write again to build vocabularies and writing ideas. We are currently using it to build our explanations of what we have called the bike trails.

Arwen from Bike Northland

The students today were really excited to greet Arwen from Bike Northland. She was really impressed with the students knowledge and experience with designing and building bike tracks. Arwen left usvsomecresources to help us design a curriculum for teaching bike skills which is really helpful. Arwen was also excited about the skills lessons coming up in terms two and 4.

Taupo Bay Dune Workshop

 Great student led working bee/workshop at Taupo Bay this morning (Friday March 2nd). Students from Rōpū Ngaio showed students, teachers and parents from Peria School how to build sand fences and grow pīngao from seed. There were also workshops on pest trapping with Leslie from Kiwicoast and a beach micro plastics clean up. Thanks also to Laura from Coastcare and Jon from the Taupo Bay trapping group for supporting us with this mahi.
