ALL Network Meeting - 5th March

-
Today Pauline and I attended the first ALL meeting of the year. This was held in Dunedin and teachers from all over Otago who are teaching either ALL or ALiM in their schools this year were there.

The day was a great chance to meet this year's facilitators and to get our heads back in ALL mode. Pauline and I worked out what students we would most likely be having in our groups this year. We also got some new ideas for communicating with whanau and the community which we might be able to implement in our groups this year.

I found this was a very worthwhile day and I'm excited about teaching ALL again this year.

We had another focus on the local curriculum and how we can include this on our unit planning. We also spent time on whanaungatanga.

It was great to learn some new language and refresh our memories on some other terms we have used before. We also learned a Traditional Maori game called Tapu Ae. A new class favourite.
