Learning at Schools 09

Yeah! We did it! Amanda and I presented our school's journey into the process of inquiry. We were both very nervous, but the content of the presentation was received very well. There were lots of questions, and lots of people wanting further contact for visits and more information! Rock on Poroutawhao! Here is our powerpoint presentation.

2009 is Here!!!!

Welcome to the continuation of Poroutawhao School's inquiry process!
We have begun the year with a unit entitled "Order in the Court", looking at the big question of why do we need rules and laws?
We are exploring this topic with a range of exciting activities including visits from police officers, define maps and looking at Goldilocks and the 3 Bears!
One of our goals for inquiry this year is to make sure our journey's are being recorded in some way ie: blog, books, wall displays.
