Text on screen: Greata Anderson | Teacher – Wainui School.
Greata: We now have, what we call the thinking curriculum, where we have inquiry learning.
[Greata Anderson facing the camera cuts to classroom scenes].
A teacher might pose a question, they might set a scenario, they might say “now, what if?" And the children are challenged to use a variety of resources, a variety of learning styles to gather information and use that information. And by using that information they can take their learning a step further, or a step higher. So you never ever reach a ceiling to what the kids are learning, because through inquiry they discover something, they learn about something and then you shoot off onto something else.
[Teacher in a KIWA t-shirt standing at the front of the class, gesturing with a whiteboard marker in their hand and talking to students].
Teacher: We can go anywhere we like. We can go anywhere in the universe, We can do anything we like, we can have whoever we like as our friends, okay?
[Child with name tag “Ryan” speaking to camera and gesturing].
Ryan: So, we let imagination run wild like, just let all the ideas pop into your head, It's an excellent feeling.
Text on screen: Gloria Smith | Teacher – Hora Hora School.
[Gloria Smith speaking to the camera cuts to classroom scenes].
Gloria: That's what you want from an inquiry approach, making them think and making them make the changes and seeing whether the changes are better or, you know, how they can improve their work.
Text on screen: Luke Nola | KIWA Facilitator.
[Luke Nola speaking to the camera cuts to classroom scenes].
Luke: With regard to learning and how creativity can actually enhance the learning process, get kids to actually own what they are learning rather than just reading someone else's work. They’re creating their own work and thus way more engaged with what they are doing, and they love it, they enjoy it they have fun.
[Child with name tag “Zane” speaking to the camera].
Zane: You just gotta be confident to let your imagination go wild.
