Blake Inspired Teachers Conference 25-29 Sept 2023

 Mrs Daniel and Ms Everitt were lucky enough to spend a week at the Blake Inspired Teachers Conference in Auckland during the holidays. Lots of inspired learning.

Year 5 Begin our Lizard Inquiry

 

Year Five are learning about lizards. We were lucky enough to have Frazer from Sustainable Schools share the knowledge he gained when he worked at Auckland Zoo. Did you know NZ is home to over 80 species of lizards?

We're wondering how we can encourage more geckos & skinks to make Wakaaranga their home.

We did some more research and reviewed with kahoot. Lastly we began to map out an area for a lizard lounge.

Green Gold Review Professional Development

 

Today the Waka staff met to review what it means to be a GreenGold Enviroschool, celebrate our journey so far and share evidence against the five Enviroschools Guiding Principles.

Project Jonah Virtual Visit with Year One and Two

 We loved learning all about whales and dolphins with Olivia from Project Jonah.

Did you know a blue whale is 32 children long??
