Teacher Only Day - Jo Barr

-

 Today we spent the day at school with Jo Barr. We spent the morning looking at Deep Learning and how to strengthen our Matariki unit for this term. It was very beneficial to put the Deep Learning lens over our unit plan. In the second session we looked at Structured Literacy and sounds. This was great because we learned to say sounds properly and learned about the stages of reading and how oral language helps with reading and writing. The afternoon session was a chance to navigate our way through the Deep Learning NZ and Global websites. 

A very worthwhile day with lots of positive conversations.

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.
