Our journey started back in May when we began an inquiry around our environment - linking with the fact that due to the Covid pandemic, people talked about better ways to do things.
We brainstormed ideas about how we thought we could take better care of ourselves and our planet.

Thank you to the Bromley School students and their teachers Lindi Newth and Catherine Mackintosh.

After many months of researching insects on You Tube, interviewing bug experts, insect hunting, making observations, going on field trips, reading insect books, creating insects and their life cycles, it was finally time to share our learning with others. 

Thank you to the Bromley School students and their teachers

Tō pitomata, He rua kanapū wehi ana.

Your potential is something to behold, like lightning that lights up the skies.

Thank you to the Bromley School students and Nik Yuki.

The purpose of our project was:

• To show our understanding of our Bromley School value of caring.

• To share a strong message of kaitiakitanga and our responsibility as guardians of our school and planet.

• ·To celebrate and showcase our wide range of growing creative digital abilities and then app smash them together in one incredible project.

Thank you to the Bromley School students and Tim Kunowski.

The MindPop concept came about after Koru 1 ākonga returned from distance learning due to COVID-19 in 2020. The class has been accessing learning through digital classrooms and on reflection thought that some of the most engaging tasks were maths challenges related to real life contexts (for example, counting teddy bears in windows on their street or creating fitness challenges for their whānau). With the possibility of returning to distance learning being uncertain, we wanted to create a platform for maths problem solving challenges that could be accessed online by members of our school community and beyond.
