TÅ«rangawaewae - The Year 7 Exhibition

By Jake Scott | Posted: Wednesday April 11, 2018

The feedback was conclusive; what an excellent array of projects and deeply explored ideas. After a term of exploring new technologies and resources, it was clear students enjoyed putting their new skills into practise for our final exhibition. I particularly enjoyed the cardboard constructions, animation and Makey Makeys. The learning certainly is not over, in-fact this is just the beginning and students are already looking at ways to improve their design and presentation for next time.

This term students explored their TÅ«rangawaewae; Identity or place of belonging. It was fascinating to see the range of backgrounds and cultural influences from around the globe. A combination of great questioning and the variety of available technologies, resulted in many high quality presentations during our exhibition.  Parents, teachers and students spent several days delving into engaging and often interactive exhibition pieces to find out about the colourful and eventful past and present lives of our student community. 

An excellent way to finish term 1 and I truly look forward to our next exhibition in term 2. Well done year 7!
