Year 8 Leavers movie - Well Done Te Motu
I have really enjoyed my class this year. They are a dynamic group as you can see. Their individuality shows and is celebrated in this exciting movie we created to conclude a wonderful year.

Caines Arcade
This is a magical story. Self- directed learning stepping outside the classroom and the curriculum and watching the amazing result. If you stick with it you will see the power of the social network. What a wonderful guy and gift to Caine, making his project so purposeful.

Shaun Tan 'The lost Thing Trailer'
One of my favourite picture books has been made into a short film. 'Awesome!'
A couple of years ago I got the chance to do a day workshop with Shaun Tan. I love his artwork and amazing books.

Importance of creativity
I really enjoyed this clip. It made me feel good about what students at Muritai get from a day, week or year at school. The opportunities, the activities the inquiries which excite and motivate rather than push.
It highlights the importance of creative approaches to teaching and how important it is to encourage creativity.
