Connected Learning Experiences

In Rongokako, we connect and collaborate with other students, other classes, other schools Nationally and Globally. One of these experiences would be in #NZReadaloud where we collaborate with other schools around NZ.

We connect in many different ways and use a range of tools. This learning helps us to think about our thinking and has helped us to realise that collaborating with others is way better than working by yourself. Having these connections means we get to work with more people and have more opportunites to hear what others are thinking which helps us to learn more.

Physical Education (P.E.)

This year we have done P.E most weeks. P.E is a way the student's in Rongokako can get some exercise and clear their mind out. P.E also helps students develop competence and confidence to take part in a range of physical activities because we learn the strategies that we need to become better at a range of skills. Heaps of people in Rongokako like P.E, because it is good to get out and do some physical activities and it is good to work together on a range of skills.

Currently we are working on developing our athletics skills and I know that we will be able to compete well on our athletics day.
