IPAD Training

E-Learning PLD

E-Learning PLD

Each, Wednesday one of our school staff members guides staff on how to use iPads and the apps currently on there, so that we as educators can implement and use these apps or programmes within the learning environment.

This week we were guided step by step, how to use the application NGA (National Gallery of Art). This application allows students to create their own setting. Once the setting has been created, students then save their image, and import this into "explain everything". Students then have the opportunity to record their creative story on the setting they have created.

Prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders

This term as apart of our Te Reo Māori Unit, Tangata Rongonui, we have been exploring prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders (Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kakahi, Te Ua Haumene, Te Rangi Hiroa, Tā Maui Pomare, Wiremu Kingi, and Titokowaru).  Learners were given 20 minutes to research facts on a given leader (D.O.B, Education, Job, Family and Iwi connections for example). After this time, each student was placed into collaborative groups to share valuable information about their Tangata Rongonui. Every learner was extremely engaged in this process and were overwhelmed by the knowledge held by these Prominent Leaders of Taranaki.  It is pivotal that we teach our tamariki about prominent leaders within each rohe (region) of Taranaki as Aotearoa's culture and history.

Te Reo Maori - Pukana Challenge

A challenge took place throughout this term (T2) regarding a 'Pukana Challenge' from schools within Aotearoa. The purpose of this challenge was to encourage the use of and participation in Te Reo Māori.  My Te Reo Māori Minister took charge in this department, teaching, encouraging and mentoring students through the process from start to finish. Lots of great discussions took place about what a pukana was, and the meaning of the kupu (words) they were saying. At the conclusion of this, R11 put out the challenge to the rest of the school. Having 2 classes take this up.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGHxtTV6hU8
