Titoki and Titoki iti

Our team is named Titoki after the New Zealand Oak tree and we like the phrase “from tiny seeds mighty oaks grow” . In Titoki, our goal is to help the students transition from early learning environments to our school in a happy and seamless way and to nurture and grow a love for learning.  Our Play-based Learning philosophy helps to foster curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovative problem solvers in our tamariki, while also helping develop necessary social, emotional and oral language skills. We encourage akonga to explore and engage so that they can flourish, we recognise individual needs and create an environment that allows students to truly be themselves and shine.

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.
