Within School Teachers Day in Twizel

-

 I was fortunate enough to go to the Within School Teachers' Day in Twizel. This was some very new for me but I was keen to see how these meetings ran and learn some new information about Local Curriculum and Deep Learning. 

Being able to strengthen some teacher connections across the four area schools in our Kahui Ako was very valuable. I didn't contribute a lot during this day as I didn't want to step on anyone's toes but I thought the day was worthwhile, if not just to see what the within school teachers' job involved. There was a lot of discussions about the Jumbo Day and how this would look, as well as, a little bit of talk about Local Curriculum too. 

I hope to be able to help Gillian when we go to look at Local Curriculum and Deep Learning at LAS.

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.
