Market+Day

=Market Day= This term the whole school will be involved in an exciting learning context that involves the community. We will be developing the children's thinking using the different levels of Blooms (If you would like a little more information on Blooms ). The Senior School children selected this topic to undertake and as a staff we wanted to take this innovative idea further to engage all of the children. This type of unit links directly to the NZ curriculum as well as the Education for Enterprise programme.

//Characteristics of an E4E school; Being enterprising means possessing the values, competencies, and knowledge to develop and use personal resources creatively and constructively, in innovative ways, and in a range of contexts. Carefully planned enterprising environments for learning, and the ways in which those learning experiences are organised and assessed, will contribute to the development of these values, competencies, and knowledge. This will equip children and young people to contribute meaningfully to the New Zealand economy and society, and will prepare them for the role of global citizens of the 21st century.//

To kick off our topic in week 3 we would love to have anyone in the community who has something to do with making and selling products visit the school and talk to our children or if it is easier we could skype you.

The teachers are meeting in the holidays to develop flexible planning which will be guided by the children. As soon as the children select a day and timeframe we will let you know.

This is an exciting venture that I am sure will motivate and enthuse the children of Broomfield School.
