In year 5 students make the momentous transition into the Bayfield senior school. Our goal is to make this exciting step up an engaging and rewarding experience. This increase in individual accountability requires all team members to take an active part in their learning pathway and we welcome your support to enable this.

Trips and Events
We are planning several trips and events throughout the year to promote the learning themes of the team. Photos and artefacts will be recorded in the photo diary as the year progresses.
Tuning in to Aotearoa New Zealand History 2023
We begin the year with an integrated inquiry about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This will be the first unit of study from the new Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum.
