Big Concepts

Overview of Curriculum Learning Term 1, 2024

Our key concept for Term 1 is We are all Storytellers - Tūrangawaewae (Belonging). The overall purpose and focus is for students to know their story, the NPS story, and be able to tell their story to an audience. Our key curriculum areas this term are Social Science and Health. Social Science will focus on local history, helping students make sense of their immediate world, and how history and lessons are passed onto future generations. Health will focus on ako - teaching and learning relationships and how they interchange; we are all learners and teachers.

We will also continue with our ongoing reading, writing, and mathmatics programmes.
