Lamb and Calf Day
Students
celebrated and showcased their learning.
It was very impressive to see, both inside and outside, the great
examples of meaningful, authentic contexts that students at Āpiti School use to
develop their learning. Through these, we can all see the full NZ curriculum
including literacy, numeracy, managing self, contributing and participating,
but especially the creativity, connected, cultural awareness and learn for life
aspects which our school vision embraces and values. Well done and
congratulations to all students.
Special thanks to Ken Thompson and Grant Kitchen for helping the students with the Healthy Muffins on International Chef's Day and the following day.
Thanks to all staff for making this day possible and especially to Linda Penfold for your inspiration and help.
