Bubble Art Photos

 WHOLE: Bubbles

In Te Ara Angitu, our WHOLE Programme which stands for Wonder-filled Hands On Learning Experiences, started off with a bubbles theme.  
Check out the photos that we took to add to our bubble art.

When we have our art on our learning space wall, we will share those too.

Prototec Pros

 Starting Our Prototec Journey

As part of our Numeracy learning this year, we will be working on our Basic Facts and number knowledge.  Part of this will involve using Prototec and documenting our progress.  

To be able to do that, we need to know how to take screenshots of our work and add these regularly to a slide.  

Today, we had a go at doing this on a shared slide.

Welcome to Te Ara Angitu 2022

 Te Ara Angitu 2022

Kia ora and welcome to a new space and new year with Te Ara Angitu.  We are currently six weeks into the term and the start of the year hasn't gone quite how we would have liked but we are glad to be back and settling into our new learning space.

We are looking forward to sharing our learning throughout the year with lots of changes and opportunities for growth ahead.
