Snow at Koputaroa School



Snow at Koputaroa School was a real highlight and something we don't usually see!  Room 1 had an exciting time playing in this amazing new environment! After morning tea we had a wonderful discussion about this very new experience and some great writing has been produced about the snow. Well done Room 1 you have used some exciting words in your writing today!

HOT Learning - Creativity

The class had a great discussion about creativity using our Green Hat Thinking. We talked about what creativity was and how we could show it to others during our HOT Learning. The children had many great ideas and we have displayed them on the following chart. The most important idea was that what we do will be our own ideas and therefore our own special creative production.
