Personalised Learning and Inquiry.

Personalised learning
Today started with personalised learning. Each student has their own personal goals and activities in relationship to the 'Accuracy for Writing' and handwriting development. Next we are incorporating reading and narrative.

Hauora
This Afternoon we explored the concept of Hauora
Hauora, is a philosophy of health and well-being unique to New Zealand. It deals with four aspects of the mind and body; physical, mental, social, and spiritual.The Hauora has been compared to the four walls of a whare, each wall representing a different dimension. All four dimensions are necessary for strength and stability.

After indentifing the four areas of health and well-being and discussing examples of each. We then look at what influences each area, positively and negitively. Then made links to puberty and personal growth.
