Literacy rich experiences for our Maori learners.


We ended on a high at the end of Term 1, last day of term Hub 1&2 performed and shared their
Mihi to their families and other families.

This term hub 1&2 are continuing or conceptual understanding of ‘our place our identity’
by dedicating a block every Friday to integrate Te Reo into art, movement and oracy.  
We’re we are team teaching and becoming a learner with each other and our children.

Our learning on a Friday has been a good build up to our visit to Te Tahawai Marae,
we were immersed in the culture and made many connections.
Our trip tied into our Marae Noho, our parents were in the learner seat through Te Ao Kori
Personally, I feel hungry learn and continue building my knowledge in Te Reo and
Maori culture so I’ve put myself in the learner seat by joining the Kapa Haka.

Reading is also about creating experiences and connecting with our Maori learners. Finding out what are their hooks for creating a willingness to read.

Kia ora, Great to be back here to share my 2022 Inquiry. whānau voice is asking us to partner alongside to help them support their child in writing,  The data collected from earlier this year, EASTle, Overall Teacher Judgements, Gap Analysis in School Talk, Our school-wide data, and tracking attitude and confidence show there is a dip in progress and learners are not making the expected rate of shift or are below standard in writing. I saw this as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and educate whanau on how to help their child at home.  I led a parent writing workshop to upskill them on how we use the LP and to engage their child in writing. We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

Time to dig deeper in my analysis and ask myself... "what happens in the classroom when I apply my learning" Dimension 4.    What is adaptive expertise? Adaptive expertise is about being self-aware, having agency over your ability to make a difference, and striving for the best outcomes for your students. Engaging in effective professional conversations can support you to. This video has made me look at my own practise and looking at the agency and urgency I have developed in making a difference. After having many conversations around 'Am I really making a difference". I am now able to dig deeper into my inquiry.   When reviewing Helen Timperly's research on the spiral of Inquiry I am at the checking phase now. So I am thinking about which learners are still struggling and facing some of the barriers in reading I have found.  I am wondering if my deliberate tools and strategies created and using are successfu
