Generally teachers are doing a lot of visual work with the students. Reading particular books and introducing ideas of portals and gatekeepers.Comments are that it is hard to sometimes grasp the concepts but that once grasped the students get really into it..particularly the boys who are enjoying making connections between their on-line game environments and the material in the classroom. 
-  * 9/9 Forensic examination of portals was undertaken with assistance by Raewyn Turner (prominent NZ mixed media artist). Presentation started the procedings. Then students were encouraged to look at their surroundings and work in small groups to investigate anomalous phenomena. This material will then become the focus for story production and writing.  Students are undertaking mapping of the school grounds and surrounding community as part of their math curricula. They are also learning about the qualities and values inherent to gatekeepers of various kinds.+ Meeting also includes an environmental/sustainability education expert who is supporting the teachers (and this project) in the backyard gardening community interface stage which will take place next term.
