Maths Long Term Planning with Julia Tong

Some of the ideas we collaboratively shared about the mathematics that could be related to the Olympic games. 

Today's Learning

Today, Julia encouraged staff to think about all the different maths we could incorporate around a given topic (2016 Olympics). From brainstorming within our small collaborative groups, she then encouraged us to identify our greatest need for maths from using our assessment data to further develop students learning.

The areas I identified was:
- Measurement (Time) Identify the difference between countries (Home country and country hosting olympics). Volume measure the volume of an olympic swimming pool.
- Add/Sub

    Wasn't this a simple way to see how much cross strand maths can be covered in a real life context for our students? Next steps to link to classes individual needs from assessment data and planning for term 3 almost done.

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.
