As part of our focus at ETS on Student Agency, we encourage all children to take on a leadership role in Discovery Time. Come along and support your child as a leader 😀

Next term we are very excited to be starting ‘Discovery Time ’ again on a Friday between playtime and lunchtime (11:20-12:30) for the Year 2 to 6 children in the Middle and Senior Teams. ‘Discovery Time’ is a fantastic opportunity to develop the wonderful child leaders we have at East Taieri School and help students to develop the competencies to become lifelong learners and competent citizens.

Discovery Time provides opportunities to help scaffold and extend students’ learning through a variety of different learning experiences, ranging from science and technology, to building and the arts.

Children will lead and plan activity sessions but it is a great opportunity to come and work alongside your child as a leader and provide them with support. We would also love grandparents and parents to come and take small groups as well.

If you are available to come along, even once, and take a small group for an activity it would be hugely appreciated. Examples of activities you might like to take are cooking, art, craft, woodwork, sports skills, board game sessions, photography……….anything you like! 

Please get your child to fill in a form which are available from your child’s teacher or alternatively contact Sarah O’Neill - sarah@east-taieri.school.nz
