E.O.T.C Planning, Activity Week




Activity Week Organisation 

Activity Week Organisation with Mentor
The week before the start of Term 4 commencing, my mentor and I got together to discuss possible outing activities that students may benefit from throughout week 8. This year is a low budget camp where students pay $50 to take part. The activities we did decide on, we needed to make sure that we had the right ratio of parents to students depending on the activity and its risks. It was equally important that our week fell within the safety guidelines and expectations of the school. 
I found this to be valuable learning, as there are going to be many times throughout my teaching career where I will be required to organise outings for my or classes.

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.

Reading - Including Student Voice

Below is a reflection based around a reading I had read as part of my Inquiry into student voice. One aim that I want to implement into Term 2 is students sharing their expertise, opinions and ideas through running workshops. I know that this was successful last year 2016 Term 4 where students were experts in different areas.
