Exploring Kiwiana: Engaging Students in Numeracy, Literacy, and Sensory Stories for a Vibrant Learning Experience

Petra Van der VeldenFebruary 8, 2025

Welcome to Hub 3, where students have had a great start to the year! The atmosphere is buzzing with happiness as friends reunite and the playground remains a popular spot for fun activities.

Adding a burst of energy to their day, students are participating in a Sensology workout during circle time to awaken their senses and kickstart their learning journey. By engaging in this activity, students are enhancing their sensory awareness and promoting a mindful approach to their day.

Our literacy sessions are filled with shared reading and engaging sensory stories that spark curiosity and creativity. These activities make learning an exciting and multisensory experience.

In numeracy, we are incorporating songs, Numicon, and various interactive activities to make counting fun and engaging for all. These hands-on approaches help students grasp mathematical concepts more effectively.

Our integrated theme for this term is Kiwiana, where we explore New Zealand's unique cultural heritage through numeracy, literacy, art, music, and cooking activities. This holistic approach fosters a deeper understanding of our rich Kiwi traditions.


With a blend of engaging activities and a nurturing environment, students in Hub 3 are set to embark on a fulfilling educational adventure this year.
