It has been great to get to know the 19 students at Patutahi school as well as the Principal, some whanau and the teachers aids

Going on a trip with them to the museum was an awesome start. Also helping them with Gymnastics one lunchtime before I did an observation

  • Diet, sleep and modern technology mean that it is on the rise

Vists to Modern Learning Environment Kaiti School/PB4L

Great to Have the opportunity to visit 3 modern learning environments at Kaiti school, Gisborne Intermediate. Great to see how they are working and how RTLb can work in these rooms.
