Today’s sensory station soon evolved into experimenting with torches and making new colours #discoverylearning

It’s play time! Discovery students working together to write and perform their very own scripts

Some of our favourite book characters have been visiting us this week! The children have loved interviewing each character about how they solved problems and how they felt throughout the story. Outstanding display of critical and creative thinking skills. @CanterburyPrSc

After a biological science lesson on what living things need to survive, the students wanted to build bird feeders to attract birds to their own backyards 🐦 #handsonlearning #realworlexperiences #DeepLearning #studentvoice

Discovery students generating ideas together for their narratives. Individuals either planned characters, setting or problem. Each child then used the plan to write a narrative with their own solution #funnystories #creativeminds

Learning together always makes it better! Word processing and programming with our Grade 6 buddies #partnersinlearning #discoverylearning

We improved our designs after testing and modifying. Our kites flew even higher today! We are getting better every try!

We said how do you want to learn about the properties of materials?The kids said kites! We found that light flexible materials worked the best! We also had to use our knowledge of shape and weather to improve our designs.
