Exploring

Every week we "explore" in our learning environment. Tui 5, Tui 6 and Tui 4 do 'exploring' every Tuesday. Exploring is professionally called play based learning and is a way that we get express our thoughts in our own ways.
During exploring, we get to use our minds to create and explore whatever we want to (within our limits). We get to create, build, make, break, play, communicate, fix and so many more things.
This year we have different stations. Mr Martins class is the Creative Hive where there is all things art. Painting, sketching, colouring, glitter, paper everything to create what we feel.
In Mrs Martins class we have the Construction Zone where we get to build using all types of materials, break things apart and see how they work and so much more.
Miss Nair has the Technology Hub where get to program and make our own stories. We can dress up and act or make our own DIY tutorials or interviews.
We cant wait to continually show you what we create during exploring. Keep your eyes peeled.
