With the potential shrinkage of the curriculum as a continued focus on literacy and numeracy skills drives the governments targets for achievement, we at Muritai hold the wide curriculum to our hearts. Term 3 is always a chance to let the creative juices flow and we have had a whole raft of artistic opportunities that have seen our children perform in the the Pacifika Festival, the Artsplash singing, Artsplash visual art exhibition and Dancesplash performance. We finish off this week with our school production 'Tall Tales' written and directed by teacher Raihania Chadwick and put together by the 'team' (staff). Our children have played a huge part in making this event the success it will be. It was wonderful to watch the dress rehearsal and see how the whole school community - children, teachers and parents - have come together in what will be the culmination of a really great learning experience for all concerned.
At Muritai - our drive to ensure that children grow in their key competencies - participating and contributing, managing themselves, relating to others, thinking and using the curriculum - means that the wide curriculum is vital to ensure the whole person develops, particularly in confidence and self-belief. As well as that it is great fun!!!!!
We are very proud of what our children have achieved this year in term 3 and it just shows that Muritai continues to evolve as a school. It is all part of our children being the best that they can be!
