You have a choice of 3 evenings! You may even come more than once, you may even want to brings friends and whanau! Next week's Art Exhibition is a culmination of a large inquiry "What's in Our Backyard?" You would've heard a great deal about this Inquiry already! Our great full of info blogs, the newsletter, assemblies, Parent Workshops… visits out and about… it's full immersion! This Art Exhibition is the action part of the cycle. It's the part when the children are supported to reflect on all they have learned across the curriculum about 'What's in Our Backyard' and now they express their thoughts and contribute to our own school backyard, using the medium of Art. Some dos and don'ts...... Don't expect to come along and see a pretty picture, planned by the teacher, on the wall - oh no! In fact, many Secondary Schools are now attempting to blur the lines between the discrete subjects, as much as they can, so that more meaning can be made. The 55 mins of Science and then 55 mins of English and then followed by 55 mins of Social Studies are not seen as connected. These schools are looking more to the primary model… but it's not a simple change by any means. |
