Thursday 22nd August - the group met again today and enjoyed the mahi and conversation in the collaborative environment. We had to warm up our creative juices, and get the blood pumping around our bodies and brain with a copoerative game. What an interesting way for us all to work together. Whaea Donna, and whaea Emma joined us as well today. After ginger nuts and milo we had a korero about the values that each school has that guides the students and their learning and growth as individuals. Another way for us to share our creative talents and skills. Everyone in the group showed pride in these discussions, and conversations, feeling the importance of these values. It was very interesting to link the common threads and the values. During this korero we also thought and 'doodled' an image that one of the words might mean or signify to us. The sketches were shared, dated and collected. We are very excited about the beginnings of the design to represent us all.

I never cease to be impressed by the insightful perspective and depth of understanding these tamariki are bringing to the collaborative process. They have paced through the necessary scaffolding to ensure that what they create together from here on in will be as meaningful as it is beautiful. Week 1 was about seeing collaborative artpieces as representating a collection of related stories and recognising how various themes, & ideas can be conveyed & interpreted. Week 2 was about art appreciation and recognising that just as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" art can be noticed, interpreted & valued in different ways. Week 3 was about sharing the core values, themes, mottos and inspirational proverbs of our individual schools and exploring images that can help convey the ideals we have in common. Week 4 will be where the individual puzzle pieces come together and through collaborative decision making & problem solving a multi-media panel design encapsulating our shared school cultures will begin to take shape. 💜 Leave a Reply. |
