Muritai School

Muritai had a very open and honest approach to their Inquiry and ICT journey. It was refreshing to hear the children take our cluster through their processes. They could easily answer any questions or queries the cluster had. Their perspective showed a grounded, yet honest and child-friendly understanding of how Inquiry is undertaken in their school.

Muriai School built up presentation skills throughout the year. An example of this was the minimum requirement  for their first inquiry presentation being  a booklet. The second inquiry required a booklet and a resource pack. The third inquiry required a booklet, a resource pack, and a speech. Children could do more with their presentation each time if they wished but were quite clear on what the minimum requirements were. Children spoke of wanting to achieve a '5' (the highest score) and strove to achieve this with each inquiry they undertook.
