Summerset Wigram Retirement Vilage Volunteers in Room 15

Today we were very lucky to have Lois, Helen and Grant come and visit us.  We read together and they helped us to read to them.  We showed them our learning on Action Stations and shared a couple of our songs.  We had a great time and hope they can visit us again soon!

Welcome to Milla

Action Stations weekly Learning Focus

Each week Room 15 students brainstorm a new Action Station Learning
Focus; each morning of the week more children share their thoughts and
understandings which are recorded and put out on display to refer to
if required. These recordings are very valuable 'child speak' of
understanding our tamariki's present knowledge and opinions on their
learning. Here are our recordings to date.
