My focus this year has been based mainly around literacy. I am trying to build within my students a love for reading and writing. My aim is to build on their vocabulary, so they can then be more successful when reading and writing, and therefore comprehension. (6)
I have tried to incorporate more te reo across my planning so students are more culturally responsive. (1,5)
We are taking part in a nationwide blogging program called Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu. Students explore and then comment on other students blogs from different parts of New Zealand. I believe this has been an amazing teaching tool for my students about communication, reading, writing, and social etiquette. (3,6)
We have utilised writing rubrics, which enable students to be active participants in the process of their learning. They can see where they are, and how they can make changes for improvement. This has led to lots of class discussion and critiquing of work.
The students are becoming more responsible and taking ownership of their education. (4)
