The Tree House Treaty

 We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace. The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree. They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

This book also enhances the Treaty of Waitangi.

It has to be displayed in the studios. Pam has explained the core aspect of PYP. Through this PD we have developed a fundamental elements about what PYP and how HPS plan their units through the NZC to deliver our learners. Reflection: Still confused and don't know what to do. However have the glimpse knowledge about what to do. and how this will be seen over the coming weeks. I thought that during my BT release I should read the 3 booklets about the PYP to gain more valuable knowledge in PYP.
