Marae Stay

Term 1
Week 6 
Thursday 5th - Friday 6th March

What a magnificence two days.... The students, colleagues and myself thoroughly enjoyed our over night stay at Owae Marae. This was a great chance to not only bond and build positive relationships with all students, but to also build positive and engaging relationships with colleagues, whanau and members of the local community. An eventful and fun two days were organised by the team at Manukorihi Intermediate. We all collaborated together to ensure meaningful and engaging learning would take place. I also noticed how well the staff got stuck in and worked together while we were at the Marae. This is was very important to ensure all areas were running effectively, and was shown through student engagement levels and positivity with their peers. Post Marae stay, meaningful discussions were had around our experiences at the Marae. Great ideas were brainstormed.

The workshops run by students showed how respectful and focus their learners were. Through allowing students to run a workshop once/twice a week will allow me to conference with 6/7 students a day around their learning progress regarding Auckland. Through the use of student voice, I asked learners at the different workshops run what they liked about their peers running a workshop.  Response:  "I am able to connect more with my peers" "Language used is easier to understand"  "Helps me to understand the work easier" The past two days have been great watching these students grow into the role as a leader/teacher. Through observations of each workshop run students seemed advice from the teacher when required. As a teacher I definitely found it difficult to allow these l...
