Flying High with Thursday Afternoon Rotations!

Rebecca Hamilton —

The High Flyers pod our Year 5 and 6 team have begun rotating around the classes this term with a focus on Performing Arts: Dance and Drama along with implementing Te Ao Māori and Gymnastics.

The students have really embraced these sessions and it is an excellent way for the teachers to get to know students from the other classes. Students have been in their own classes for two weeks and this week is their first session in another class with a different teacher. Over the course of the term the students will work within all four classes from across the pod.

Mrs Harris: Gymnastics in our school hall.

Mr Jenkins: Te Ao Māori learning Kapa haka songs.

Mrs Hamilton/Mrs McLeod: Drama elements based on Māori legends.

Mr Barnett: Harakeke weaving.
