This year we have so many great authentic learning opportunities available for our students under the umbrella of Inquiry. Many of these opportunities will be based around our learning challenges to help us prepare to be a successful global citizen. This first term we have begun to look at "being the best I can be." This will be initially based around manners, respect and challenging ourselves. The students will then look at what environments will help us reach our goal. Students will delve into the impact of modern learning environments.
Through providing authentic learning opportunities as and when they arise, we have decided to split the class where students will choose to either investigate the above topic or "Bus Safety for Students" which has been identified as an issue for our students. This will be an opportunity to take a stand and try and make a change against legislation through the NZTA that puts students at risk.
Both topics will require critical thinking, reflection, collaboration and problem solving. We are so excited about making a change so that we can "be the best we can."
