Tohatoha

 Ako, hanga, TOHATOHA

Todays session started of with sharing what our student created for homework.  Our one shot films about one of their favourite books they have read was a big hit.  Its interesting how fast and correct their mahi is when its something they love (filming themselves) and are very firmiliar with.  This is definately an activity I will implement into the years reading program, and will use through different topics and curricular.

Sharing their work is something my students have been very firmiliar with since we have been connected with Manaiakalani.  It is very important to our tamariki that they share their work to support and enhance their learning.

Sharing as part of feedback has been a practice that I neeed improvement on, sometimes the blogging is a lot and as a kaiako it has been sometimes difficult to manage.  Tracking and managing the kaiako and student feedback ensures that the student has an idea of what mahi their is to improve on and that they have achieved.  

Arohanui have been vdery consistant sharing they creations and tasks on their blogs. They also been commenting on other students mahi. Our next step is to encourage more kaupapa related readings and sharing of the information they have gained through their findings. Identifying and responding to new learnings and information.

Part of my mission this year and next is to get the whānau and home community to also support and respond to some of the mahi the tamariki share on their blog.
