Kia Ora Everyone. 

This year's teacher inquiry for myself is pertaining to the Attendance within my class. Since we have had so many lockdowns and online learnings, my home class are the most worst offenders for not coming to school.  So my inquiry question is. "How can I increase the attendance of certain students". I have a core target group that contains of 7 students that I am focussing on. I am also wanting to include Key Competencies as well. Managing Self, Making sure you are accountable for your actions. Relating to Others,  Remembering that we have all been through what you are going through. Thinking and Participating, Think about what you need to do and how we can help or make it better,  and Contributing, Being able to express and explain your thinking about anything. 

Keep an eye out for the next Inquiry post. 

MITEY

 Today,  we had a Teacher Only Day looking at the framework of MITEY.  Mitey is a framework used by many New Zealand children,  it looks at the mental health and well being of children.  We will be launching this framework to our kids this year.  We look forward to more professional development.  

AND we are BACK!!

 

Kia Ora and Greetings to you all. 

Well it has been a trying time with Covid around. I have only just returned back to work after having Covid-19. Yes it was just like a cold or flu but it was a lot worse, experiencing the devil (Covid) was not a nice feeling. Staying home and isolating for the duration was hard but being super sick and knowing you can't jump online to see your students was even harder. I did actually miss being at school and around my students. 

If you are feeling sick and have the symptoms in the picture below then please take a test, you won't know you have the Covid until you have a test,  it could be days after you start experiencing these symptoms that you get it but just be sure to know that they are just like a flu or cold. 

Being back at school and around all the students is just what I love and needed,  took me a little bit to come around after my return but I am back and ready to hopefully finish off term 1 with a bang.

Its that time AGAIN!!

 Kia Ora and Greetings to you all, 

Yes this year has been a challenging year already. This pandemic has/is the devil already as we are trying to get back to some normality in school.  Mask wearing, sanitising and trying to keep to social distancing is a challenge in itself. Returning back to school and knowing that you can't hug your friends you haven't seen for a while is hard but unstoppable at the same time. All we need to do to stay safe is follow the guidelines of the Government and we should be fine. On a positive note,  we are still learning and blogging all our learning that we are doing within the weeks. Hopefully we can beat this pandemic and return to being normal. 

 

 Take care and be safe during these trying times.
