Netball Coaching

For 2018 and 2019 I have coached a Year 9/10/11 Lawrence Netball Team. This involved planning and running weekly practices and attending games and giving guidance to the girls in the team.

On the 2nd July I had a 1-1 meeting with Anne Kenneally to discuss my inquiry. I found this very beneficial and got some good ideas.

Kite Making Day - 28th June

We carried out a Junior School Technology Day based on Kite Making due to a Matariki festival being held in Lawrence. We posed a problem, we made a plan, we designed a prototype, we discussed the challenges and solutions. We grouped children into mixed level groups with a year 7/8 student as a leader and supervised each group in our classes. A very worthwhile day! Kite Making Day Plan 

Reports to the BOT

Presented the Physical Education and Health report to the Board of Trustees and answered questions from the BOT.

ALL Cluster Meeting

On 18th June Pauline and I travelled to Alexandra for the ALL Cluster meeting. This was a great opportunity to meet with the teachers of ALL from other schools and discuss how our ALL programmes are going in each of our class. I got some really valuable ideas and was able to implement some of these into my programme in the last 2 or 3 weeks of my programme. ALL meeting 

Professional Learning Group

On the 13th June I travelled to Cromwell to have a day with my professional learning group and with Darran Ingram. This was a very valuable day where we got to have lots of discussions about our inquiry and finalise what our question was going to be and get some ideas for activities to do in class.
