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.

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.
