From Tiny Acorns The Mighty Oak Grow

A carpet of oak mahuri.

Wandering around our Puketaha Paradise today I spotted tiny oak saplings carpeting the bark outside Ropu Puawai 5 & 6. I didn't think too much of it when I took the photo but as I have reflected more about why this scene took my eye I feel that this photo celebrates everything that we aspire to achieve at Puketaha School. Everything we do on a daily basis as leaders of learning is about growing and refining our practice in order to design learning that will take our tiny acorns in Ropu Kakano and grow them to be mighty Puawai.

Friday Funday

The teachers from Ropu Mahuri are engaged in conversations about their timetable and programme for 2016. 

Mr Swan is up to his usual antics while Miss Casey stays on task and sorts through resources.

Miss Stantiall and Mrs Hill collaborating on ideas for how they might set up the space. Mrs Hill talks with her hands. Check out Miss Stantiall's new shoes!!

Planning in our teams and starting to organise spaces for learning was the goal for today. It was a busy but productive day.
