24th July 2015

At the end of last term each class held their parent interview evenings. I was overwhelmed by the number of parents I had turn up. Having well over half my parents attend their child's inspiring. This showed how interested each whānau was keen and interested to check on their child, their progress and next learning steps. I found this to be a successful afternoon and evening. Relevant questions were asked by parents that allowed them to identify their own next steps for their child. 

This short video clip below explains the importance of Teacher and Parent engagement. Without engagement between both parties, can make it difficult to know both personal and learning backgrounds of an individual. Without engaging positive relationships and communication by the teacher, means the whanau members have no clear idea about what their child/ren have been learning each term. Strong communication whether it be by phone, email, txt, face-to-face, or writing is key to set up success for each learner

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.
