2010 Literacy through Enviroschools workshops

The 2010 'Literacy through Enviroschools' workshops were held in both Whāngārei and the Far North.  Teachers explored the links between the literacy progressions and the environment, participated in exciting strategies and activities to integrate into their literacy programmes and identified opportunities to use both fiction and non-fiction in a range of learning areas.
