Mahi Tahi

This week Kea class started "Mahi Tahi". Mahi Tahi is all about collaboration and team work. Mahi Tahi is something which is done quiet often in our senior school with all the senior students, the teachers have seen amazing changes and results in the students. 

Kea class will be doing weekly STEM activities in groups and they will need to use the "Four C's" when working in their groups. The Four C's are collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and communication. 

This week we discussed the Four C's and we unpacked each word. 4 posters with each word on was set up around the classroom then students were allowed the opportunity to walk to each poster and add their ideas about what each word means to them. The responses were FANTASTIC! 

This coming week Kea class will be doing their first STEM activity.

Today we started to create our musical instruments. We invited Te Kahu class to buddy up with us to help with using the tools and the construction process. Everyone in Kea class had a buddy working with them. The photos show the Tuakana-Teina creativity at work. Many thanks Te Kahu for all of your help. Kea Class are well on the way with their instruments. Some are ready for decorating already, and others just need a little bit more work before being decorated. The students all enjoyed their learning, and they are all very proud of what they have achieved so far.

Students have been using their learning to create slides to share at assembly, and here on the blog. We hope you enjoy them.
