Hub 2 is humming!

Neat to see Reading and Writing being taught in a more authentic, integrated way.  The engagement was a delight to see today in hub 2.  Proud of the way our teachers are thinking differently about how to make this work.

E Book - Where is Mel?

Mel Tours Melbourne from Stonefields School on Vimeo.

Here is a wee story we created as an exemplar for our own students. The team went to Melbourne to view some wonderful Schools. We had a superb two days looking at how three schools had worked through a process to purposefully design space. We saw over 100 students working within one learning centre. The engaged learning hum was exceptional, it was wonderful to see students using various e learning tools and being encouraged to pursue areas of interest. Many thanks to all the schools that hosted us.
Mel then took us on a tour of the city on Saturday. We had a great time exploring some of the sights of Melbourne. We are keen for Stonefields School learners to take Mel with them when they go on trips around NZ and further afield. Maybe we will be able to start blog on Where in the world is Mel off to now?
Can you find Mel in each picture?
