NZ Curriculum Refresh

 On November 10th I attended a TOD that was based around the new NZ curriculum refresh - with a focus on English. It was very interesting.

Curriculum Refresh Staff Meeting Term 4

 Loved this meeting - it was great to see where the Ministry is heading! I loved the Maths/Statistics Curriculum as it was specific and easy to understand and follow.

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.

Assessment Capable Learners

Today we participated in a PD Staff Meeting around Assessment Capable Learners. We looked at 

different strategies that we could implement into our classrooms and how we can activate children as 

learning resources to eachother and their teachers.

From this workshop/PD as a teaching team we chose to implement 2 of the strategies

- Random Talk Partners during Concept

- Mid -Lesson Learning Stops during our Learning Circles for Writing

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.
