Today we had an immersion assembly in the hall where each Team throughout the school shared what their team would be learning about this term. Our school wide inquiry focus is called: Make It Work. It is all based around problem solving, design thinking and creating solutions for real world problems. This is our Team 4 movie which is all about the process of design thinking. There are 5 main parts to design thinking which include how to ‘Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test’. Our focus question and main problem in Team 4 is: ‘What can we design and create to improve our Team 4 outdoor area?’

Manaiakalani Film Festival – I Believe
Kia ora everyone! Welcome to Room 7s class blog! We are a class of Year 6 students at Pt England School.
Last term we explored the arts which included visual art, dance, drama and music. We looked at the different ways that we could convey our feelings and emotions through the arts. We learnt about what it means to have a growth mindset and how negative or positive thoughts can affect our feelings and emotions. Our movie reflects some of the themes that we explored last term. It is also a reminder that having good friends in our lives is very important. Take care of your friends, be kind to others and believe in yourself because you are special and you are amazing!
Thank you for visiting our class page and for watching our movie for this years Manaiakalani Film Festival 2022.
