2025 T1 Spotlight Pukeko
February 13, 2025
Haere Mai- Welcome to Mt Carmel
Our Pukeko class, in their first eleven days at school, have had a strong focus on building relationships with each other and their teacher through strategically planned ‘learning through play ‘opportunities as well as structured learning.
One of the strands of the New Zealand Curriculum is oral language. The focus of this strand is on teaching students to speak and listen effectively. It acknowledges that strong oral language is the cornerstone of learning and is crucial for success across all learning areas.
At eth beginning of the term, we sent home “All about me ‘boxes giving each student a chance to speak in front of the class and share what was important about their family. It also gave the rest of the students a chance to listen to and share what they learnt about each other. A ‘wow ‘moment for any teacher😊
Enjoy the following photos taken this time and a big thank you for sharing your ‘treasures‘ with us and supporting your children’s transition to our school.
