About Room 16
Room 16 is the main stream new entrant class at Kawakawa Primary. All the students are 5 years old and love coming to school and learning with Whaea Narelle, our kaiako. We are hands-on class that are learning to take responsibility for our learning and become our own teachers. We are discovering our learning skills through a process called learning through play. Have a look and see how we extend and challenge ourselves.
Room 17 and Room 16 have been working together to problem solve for pangarau. We first talked to our buddies about the key things in the problem, then we talked about how we could work it out. When it came to sharing time we had loads of different answers and we found out that there wasn't one person who was wrong! One of the key things we have learnt from problem solving is that you need to listen to others and take turns.
