Blogging PLD

Monday 27th July, a teaching staff member guided the entire teaching staff through the steps required to create a personal, or classroom blog to track own teacher learning or that of the classroom. This tool, I believe is another essential form of communication between teacher, student, wider community and whanau members.

of having a blog and how these 3
ideas intertwine with one another.

Where to from here for me? 
End of year to evaluate classroom website, if this has not been effective and informative as first thought, I will then create a classroom blog to entice parents to view the current work carried out by their child/moko/whanaunga/friend. However, it is vital that I continue to inform whanau, and extended whanau to refer to the classroom website to stay up to date with current events and learning.

Literacy Circles Reflection

Literacy Circles Reflection This week was the first week using the Literacy Circles reading programme. I have started this off as whole class to familiarise students with each role.  Worked Well:  Students understood the role of the " Discussion Director " and " Word Master "   Next Time:  More modelling and clear explicit instructions for each role (especially the role of the Summariser).  Asking for questions before students move into tasks.  Giving examples about how to successfully carryout this role.

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.
