Writing 2019

Tataiako 2019

This afternoon a group of teachers and administration staff presented the Tataiako Curriculum as part of our Monday staff meeting. Each team was given a Whakatauki to represent in any way they thought best and there was a prize for the best team. Each team shared their Whakatauki and a member of the Tataiako team shared with their own in depth representation on each of the Tataiako curriculum areas. Our Kids are so blessed to have an amazing group of teachers and staff. Huge thanks to the admin staff Leigh Flavelle, Donna Mcmillan, Charlotte Sorenson and Ross Takerei and Francis Cassidy.

Inquiry Term 2 2019

Team 4 Room 11.

It's been a very busy term, the students have settled well into the day to day routines and my expectations, we are working towards a cohesive learning environment and so far things going really well. I'm very happy and the students are too.
We got straight into testing, the students didn't like to write but I needed a sample for report writing. I have to say after 8 weeks in Room 11 the students have written some really good narratives. They really enjoy writing now. My professional inquiry is in Writing and I look forward to working with Pacifica boys in Room 11. I have some very good readers with excellent decoding and next term we will work on comprehension. Parent-teacher conference went well I got 50% attendance from parents. I have an excellent team and look forward to working with them.

How to make a Pulley

Found this video from 2018, Miss Moran and I, had so much fun making this short film. Miss Moran (camerawoman), Ms Tumahai giving instructions for
 Year 2 students to follow. Students got to make their own pulleys. Wish I couldn't find some footage of the kids, I'll keep looking.
