I am continuing to work with Sue Holmes to design a local curriculum for Oruaiti School. We met again on 27th June. We looked at the checklist of where we are currently at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jZ1e_Vbjor6nkY2MnFoDWMz1Z6MyYxOyfIZjAedZirE/edit
We alo looked at how the curriculum could be developed as a school site. I will start working on this using the site template that Meg created for our term overviews. Some of what we currently have in our curriculum will be able to be used. I ave started re reading Elwyn Richardsons book 'In the Early World' This is helping me to think about the history of Oruaiti School and what makes us special. There is a great deal of what Elwyn was doing that we would like to continue. I am meeting with Sue again on 6th August. The notes from our last meeting and next steps are attached.

Hi Diane. There are so many things about Oruaiti that make it special. Everyone agrees that the biggest factor is the welcoming culture that you have fostered and developed. I wonder how, when you create a new school curriculum you can incorporate Elwyn's legacy, while weaving in your own talents for manaakitanga?
