Piwakawaka Team Learner Agency


In Learner Agency you get to do fun activities like BFG Word Challenges, Hip Hop Dance, Te Rakau, BFG Drama, Ukulele, BFG Dream Mixing, Growth Mindset, Hip Hop Dancing and more.

Learner Agency is good/fun etc because we get to have some fun time and we get to learn cool and interesting stuff.

First, you have to sign up by going to your gmail and you will get a message from your teacher. It will be a form and you will have to fill it in with what day you want to go to each activities. But you can’t do two on the same day or it will not let you submit.

Then you go to your Workshops for half an hour in the afternoon and you have to recheck the spreadsheet to make sure you don’t go to the wrong class.   

This term we did two Learner Agency Workshops because the Year 4s were reading a book called The BFG. We also changed because the teachers thought it was a good idea that we change.
We really like Learner Agency because we get to do fun and exciting activities.

Workshop 3:
  • Ukulele
  • Hip Hop Dance
  • Te Rakau
  • Growth Mindset

Workshop 4:
  • BFG Word Challenges
  • BFG Dream Mixing
  • BFG Drama
  • BFG Character Descriptions

In Workshop 3 we did Hip Hop Dance.  At Hip Hop Dance, Mrs Prasad puts on hip hop music with people dancing so we can dance easily by looking at them.

We also went to Mr Cowan for Te Rakau and we learned how to defend ourselves with Maori weapons.

Mr Curry did ukulele. When we went to ukelele we learned how to play the ukulele and play Singing In The Rain.  

 
Miss Rands-Trevor did growth mindset. Miss Rands-Trevor taught us things we did not know about how we learn. She told us that when we fail at some we get a new neuron in our brain so making a mistake is actually good.




In Workshop 3, all of the activities were around our year group Read Aloud, The BFG.

We really like Learner Agency because we get to do fun and exciting activities.



Thank you for  reading our description of Learner Agency.
