COL Staff Only Day

 This was very informative. I found my workshops around the adolescent brain very informative and helpful for how to look after our younger students as they head towards this time in their lives.

Meeting fellow colleagues and having small chats about how they do things in their class/school was also very helpful and interesting.

HAL PD's

Over the past two terms we have had some amazing PD for in the classroom and our own well being. 

It has been a great reminder on how to add Health & PE into other curriculum areas. I enjoyed adapting my Writing lesson to include shuttle runs and watching the students interact and relish in an active lesson and not just doing a worksheet.

Online TOD - Assessment Capable Learners

 Today we learnt about the 3 different types of learners

- Supported Learner

- Self-Managing Learner

- Self - Directed Learner

This was a great session as we were advised of a variety of online tools/websites that you can use within th classroom setting and incororapte to online learning during this ectended lockdown

Answer Garden

Jamboards

Screencastify

During the session it was great to be able to acknowledge where we are already using it and where we could look to extend add it. An example of this was we use it with our Traffic Light System with Follow Up tasks in Math, but can we use it in other curriculum areas i.e Writing or RE

During the Breakout Session with my team we decided to implement 

- a "DROP IN" session for students after the their online seession where they can come back online to work or ask questions

- create a shared language that we can use across Ako 2 so that no matter what teacher the students are with they can understand and know what we are talking about.

New To Catholic Schools Course

 Today I travelled up to Ponsonby to attend the New to Catholic School Course.

It was great to see what is expected, the different types of prayer & the Primary RE Curriculum

New to Catholic School Day Notes

Auckland Diocese Teachers Dedication Mass

 Last night I participated in my first Auckland Diocese Teachers Dedication Mass concelebrated by Bishop Michael. It was very moving where  I was fully able to feel welcomed and participate in a full school tradition with my new school. It was lovely to celebrate with my new colleagues  who received their Classroom Accreditation certificates, and the 2020 teachers who were acknowledged for completing an RE paper through The Catholic Institute.

Working With Team on Target Students

 Today we worked together to highlight our Year 6 Target students so we are aware of the students that we want to highlight and move to reach their potential.

We discussed the ways that we can work with them in the classroom to accelerate their progress.
