Learning together is empowering

For the past few weeks Te Ngahere, Te Mounga and Te Moana have been learning about different celebrations from around the world that we have adopted in New Zealand.  
They were grouped in mixed groups with the goal of working collaboratively to achieve the success criteria.
Each group spent 2 sessions with Mrs Pou, Whaea Chrissy, Whaea Beks and Mrs Neumann.  These sessions were used as an ignition point for our inquiry this term.
It was really exciting to see students taking responsibility for not only their own but their peers learning.  
We (the teachers)found this hugely successful and we have decided to begin every new topic in this way.
