During 2010 a group of Year 6 students from Pt England School have acted as ambassadors not only for the school but on behalf of the Manaiakalani project. They auditioned for the role in February and developed their own presentations which they have since shared with visitors from around the country and overseas. Some of the groups have been large, some have included folk like Cabinet Ministers, and some have been interested classroom teachers. Regardless of who the audience was (and what these kids were missing out on - from Maths to Art to Swimming!) these ten year olds gave more than 100% to the task of sharing how they learn with others.

Many people have asked if they could have a video of the student presentations, so as the year ends I am publishing links to them. I am not embedding them in this post. You will need to follow the links to each of their blogs - and leave them some feedback :)
Well done to all students who have contributed to this blog. Your teachers must be very proud of you. Thank you for sharing with other teachers and schools around New Zealand.
