Last night the Junior School held their annual Class Information Evening aka Meet The Teacher. I had two parents that attended so it was a quick meeting but got a chance to talk both parents individually before and after the meeting which was beneficial for me.
In term three, and also in term 4, we put together our biannual drama production - Let Loose. Students auditioned for a role that they wanted and then, if successful, had to learn their lines and become the character they were portraying. Practices were held most weeks and leading up to the final performance, several times a week. It was great to be able to still put our performance on to an audience, even if Covid times, and I hope that the parents enjoyed the production.
This year we have had two teacher only days both with a focus on Local Curriculum. The first day was 11/5/21. We planned 2 inquiry units - the first was a Gold Rush, Lawrence History plan and the second was a Matariki inquiry/art unit. The second day was the 16/8/21. We had another focus on the local curriculum and how we can include this on our unit planning. We also spent time on whanaungatanga.
