PE

Throughout the year team 1 and 2 have Interhouse sports days. the focus of these days is to allow the children to mix with others at school, to fair play and make new friends.

During 2015, we have incorporated a World Cup for both cricket and rugby. These are very successful days - the older children enjoy being captains and helping the younger children.
The younger children all have a go at a sport and are supported by their older peers. 

All staff always enjoy the short time we do these days- seeing the looks on the kids faces is just worth it!

Science - Scientific Investigation Method- Term 3 2015

Dannevirke High School have organised a Science Fair. I prepared information for the staff to share at a staff meeting to help us all share the scientific investigation with our children.

The goal was for our children to investigate and present their experiments either in a group, as a whole class, or as individuals. The individual presentations will be entered in the DHS science fair in week one of term 4.

Teaching as Inquiry 2014- Writing

Throughout this year, I have worked at trialling new ways to help progress my target students to meeting the National Standard in writing. During my journey I have found that one of the most effective ways to help children achieve is to have them aware of the one clear step that they are focussing on, and what this would look like in their writing.

ALIM 2013

During 2013, I was part of the MOE ALIM group. This group was made up of people from Wellington to Rotorua, covering primary and secondary school children. This professional development included readings, working with small groups each day both within the class and withdrawn. this was for children who were below the National Standard for their age.
A very reflective year focussing on maths, constantly updating the way you spoke or worked with equipment and children.

Working with Emily - our Beginning Teacher

At the beginning of the year, Emily and I worked together to design to her reading, writing and maths programmes. Emily was released once a week. She would send a email of what readings and other professional work she was going to cover on those release days.
Each term Emily and I would set goals and these goals were reviewed at the end of each term.
As part of her TAI, we meat with Leigh and Lynley each Wednesday to discuss goals, next steps and how to solve some problems for Kayjhan. Kayjhan is an autistic boy who need guidelines to help him become incorporated into the class throughout the year. 
Add goal setting sheets with Emily and her TAI 2014.
