Digital Dynamos Day

-
On Thursday 6th June, Gillian, Stephen and myself, along with teachers from other schools, organised a Digital Dynamos Day. This was hosted by LAS and was a day for children from other schools around South Otago and the lower Central Otago regions to get together and share digital tools that they have been using in class to help with their learning.

This day was an awesome opportunity for students to collaborate and learn some great new techie sites or skills to take back to their own schools and classrooms to teach them about.

It was a very worthwhile and fun day for both students and teachers.

Teacher Only Days

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.

Kahui Ako Jumbo Day

 As a school we attended the annual Jumbo Day in Cromwell. There were only staff from Maniototo and Roxburgh because of the weather. It was still a very worthwhile day. Watching others share what they have been doing with Local Curriculum was very beneficial for all staff to see, as well as being able to share our own Matariki activities we had made as a Junior School.
