Discovery Time

The Year 3 Ngauruhoe Syndicate; Rooms 12 to 15, have been doing Discovery Time for one block every Friday this term. Discovery time provides the children with hands on activities and a chance to problem solve in real life situations. The programme was run over five weeks from weeks six to 10. The activities the children took part in were based on our current learning themes, therefore extending their knowledge on these themes. We had many wonderful parents come in to help with the activities and we had lots of fun being creative and learning about many different things.

Discovery Time will continue for the remainder of the year during five weeks of each term.
