Week 3: Treasures
This year our school wide theme is called ‘Cherish our Treasures’ or ‘Tiaki Taonga’. So what does this mean? What is a treasure? Well, a treasure could have different meanings for different people.
Most people would think of the word ‘treasure’ as being something rare and valuable like finding a pirates treasure chest full of gold. A treasure could be something important passed down from one person to another. This week you will be finding out more about what makes a treasure.
Week 4: How do we cherish our treasures?
Last week we looked at what a treasure was and why these could be important to us. This week we are going to look at how we can cherish our treasures.
This means how do we make sure that our treasures can be cherished for a long time. We will be looking at the environment, animals, sustainability, the earth and what we can do to make sure that we can continue to cherish our treasures for a long time.
Week 5: Culture
This week we are going to be looking at different cultures and what it means to be part of that culture. Culture is an important part of our identity and is an important part of our lives to treasure. We are going to be looking at a range of different cultures that we have in our school and some of which you might identify with. Check in each day to see which culture we will be learning about.
Week 6: Wonders of the World
There are some many beautiful natural and man made wonders all over the world. This week we are going to explore a selection of these wonders from the new, old and natural world. There were over 200 existing monument that were selected to take part in a campaign to find the "new 7 wonders of the world" in the year 2000. This week we will be looking at some of these wonders and you can decide for yourself which ones you think are the best!
Week 7: Science Week
There are so many things about our world that we don't know much about, but thanks to science, we are able to take a closer look at what these things are. Science can help us understand how these beautiful things operate, and also be a lot of fun. Come join us on our scientific journey this week, we have so many things to learn!
