Koru Designs

In Koru 3 last week, during our te reo Māori lesson, we learned about the meaning of our class name. In te reo, a koru often refers literally to the fern frond as it uncoils and grows. It is a symbol of many ideas, one of which means new life or growth.

When asked about our learning, students noted that after learning what koru means, they could draw it as new class logo. Others said that drawing helps them to learn and they enjoy it because it’s fun to draw.  Some students showed off their creativity by making their designs into koru necklaces.

Haere Mai Koru 3!

This term we’ve been learning about each other and finding our groove in our new Koru 3 classroom.  Everyone has shown they take our Bromley values seriously, especially Being Courageous when sharing with the class.

This week we brought in personal taonga to show and share together. Our taonga are one element of our term project called All About Me. We’ll be presenting our final project digitally at the end of Term 1.
This week we also started our blogs to share and write about our learning each week. Luckily some friends from Koru 1 came to help us set them up!

Stay tuned for our first blog posts next week.
