Team Harakeke
Monday 2 November
A successful but busy term we've had here in Harakeke Team. We started the term off with Athletics where several of our students did really well and went off to represent Christchurch East School at Zones Athletics.
We've also had Kapa Haka and Choir practices and trips too!
One of our favourite events from the term would have to be the Outdoor Education day! This was a whole day out of the class rotating around teachers taking a variety of different activities, such as cooking pikelets on 'hobo stoves', making Bivvies out of tarpaulins, putting up tents, obstacle courses and much much more! It was such a great day, and we were lucky to do all of this before the big storm arrived - such awesome timing by Ms Kent!!
As well as all of these extra learning curricula activities, we've been forging ahead with some epic Inquiry learning focusing on unpacking the Maori Creation Myth and reinterpreting this myth and legend through art, drama and narrative writing.
Check out all of the photos from these events and more on our School Facebook Page.

What do Harakeke Students get up to on Fridays?
Now that we've completed Athletics for the term, we're able to fit more time in to our timetable working on Digital Technologies and The Arts. It's a great chance for our students to continue working on their Inquiry projects and build in more Curriculum Areas. You'll see students working on Coding activities, Visual Art Activities, Digital Math activities and a whole lot more!

As Harakeke Students continued learning more about their identity through Inquiry and other curriculum areas, we began to explore different art themes and styles from cultures around the world. Students participated in a variety of Art Activities exploring different styles, techniques and media.
Throughout the 5 classes, we have all created unique masterpieces that portray our own identities.
Come in and have a look at the AMAZING art on display in our classes!

During Term Three, Harakeke students have enjoyed learning more about their identity. We have taken this excitement and enthusiasm and have written Acrostic Poems with a twist. Students learnt how to write an Acrostic Poem about themselves. The poem needed to include information about their Identity, and information that wasn’t easily known. This required them to think deeply and peel the layers back to explain and share not just about their likes and dislikes, but their culture, their whānau, their background, and facts that make them who they are.
The students' poems are tremendous, and as a part of our Linc Ed Reporting, we’ve shared these home along with a SOLO Rubric helping to explain the level of thinking the students used for that specific piece of writing.
Below is a sample of our Harakeke Student’s work.
Enjoy!
