Welcome to a great year of learning in 2020

For Term 1, our Ngā Hau e Whā Toru big idea for learning is exploring "Tikanga/Culture" and how we can "be the change we wish to see in the world" when it comes to caring for Papatūānuku - Mother Earth.

During our learning sessions, we will be focussing on the Key Competencies and the 4Cs in our school.

The New Zealand Curriculum Key Competencies are:

Thinking
Managing Self
Participating and Contributing
Relating to Others
Using Language, Symbols and Text

The 4Cs in our kura - Finlayson Park School are:

Courtesy
Consideration
Cooperation
Common Sense

As 21st century learners, we will use different learning approaches to expand our knowledge using the 4Cs of 21st century learning skills:

Collaboration
Critical Thinking
Communication
Creativity

Frequently asked questions:

Homework

Students are expected to read every night for at least 20 minutes, so they MUST have a bookbag in order to bring books home from school.
Some students need to learn and practice times tables - they will have a notebook to write in each night.
Sometimes students will bring home unfinished class work or will have a task to do on Google Classroom or their e-portfolio. We also encourage students to do their own research on class topics or about their interests.

If you have other queries and cannot make it into school to chat, please email Whaea Teagan tmaihi@finlaysonpark.school.nz
