LYNC·ED Weeks 2020
The last two weeks of term were new experiences for students and staff, as the school jumped into our LYNC-ED integrated learning programme. Students selected a workshop for the two weeks, such as Mission to Mars, Sports and Nutrition, and Kaitiaki - Guardians of the Waterways.
Within these cross-curricular workshops, they learnt about issues and ideas in an authentic way. For example, the Welcome to the Disaster Zone group learnt about natural disasters, visited the museum to experience the earthquake zone, created music for a disaster movie, and wrote Choose your own Adventure stories to show what to do in the event of a disaster.
The students enjoyed the new way of learning and appreciated the work their teachers had put into creating interesting workshops. Many students wished there could be more cooking and more outside activities!
