e-Editions
One exciting addition to the year is the launch of the e-Edition – a digital replica of the newspaper with enhanced capabilities – that can be used in computer labs, on interactive whiteboards and at computer stations. We’re delighted to have received so many e-Edition orders, with multiple licenses for the whole classes or for a single teacher license. Talk to the NiE liaison teacher at your school to find out more or contact your local APN NiE coordinator.

This week’s X-Press NiE page
This week’s topic is: I am a citizen. The concept of what a ‘citizen’’ is has changed in recent times. It no longer simply refers to the acquisition of legal status to live in a country or the rights or privileges people are entitled to.
This week’s topic is: I am a citizen. The concept of what a ‘citizen’’ is has changed in recent times. It no longer simply refers to the acquisition of legal status to live in a country or the rights or privileges people are entitled to.
Citizenship also incorporates how we behave, the decisions we make and how we treat others in our local, national and international communities. Recent examples include the Waitangi Day celebrations and the New Zealander of the Year Awards.
