How we organise ourselves - Kerikeri Xmas Parade 2018
The past few weeks have been really busy for Room 1 and 2 students as they were organising their entry into the Kerikeri Lion’s Christmas Parade. The event held on Saturday 24th November was a massive success and our students can be very proud of their resilience, organisation and bravery. Our school encourages student agency and action and we think Room 1 and 2 modelled these perfectly.
Quite often the assessment is not about the finished product but about the process it takes to get there, though in this case the finish product was also amazing!
Preparation for the event included planning, contacting the Lions club via phone, writing letters to parents, designing and creating costumes and lots of decision making. In order to make this event so successful, the classes showed to be open minded and respectful communicators. Our students made the decision to raise money through the planning and chose “Plastic Free Kerikeri” as their charity. As they were “saving the planet” they thought it apt to dress as eco warriors at the event.
The day of the event was a complete wash out but this did not dampen the spirit and excitement of the students. They rode their bikes and scooters through Kerikeri, chanting and singing all the way round. The support from whanau was outstanding, backed up by the cheers from the crowd. Well done Room 1 and 2!
