Te Reo Maori me ona Tikanga - Staff Workshop Week 3

On Tuesday 5 May I Kiri took  staff workshop to refresher.The focus was to revisit the three main second language acquisition methodologies that we use to teach Te Reo Maori kupu and kiwaha.

We revisited the IRDPX and iPpit methodologies.  We revisited the Sandwich methodology which we use mainly for kiwaha/phrase teaching.  We also reconnected the 11 Principles of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (Ellis Erlam Sakui 2) with these methodologies.
We also discussed the Te Reo Maori me ona Tikanga committees plan for our Matariki Celebration in Week 9 and gave the staff a 'heads up' in regards to Maori Language Week in week 2 of Term 3.

Te Reo Term 2

Today we reviewed the second language acquisitions and methodologies.  We revisited the Sandwich methodology which we use mainly for kiwaha/phrase teaching.  We also reconnected the 11 Principles of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (Ellis Erlam Sakui 2) with these methodologies.

The Revised e-asTTle writing tool

The revised e-asTTle writing tool.
This looks very interesting and well thought out. Will be interesting to do with my class next term. Although the manual and video sounds and looks complicated this will be intersesting.

We had a very fun staff meeting today learning about a new resource for science. This was hands on experiencing what our children will be creating with these wonderful science kits. These will be available from Reap to order. James Street School is extremely lucky again to get these for free this term. We solved crimes, mixed powders and told stories using stuff. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Maple and Reap. 

     

Nice one !

Made with a tea bag!

For our teacher only day we had a session on ways to communicate and having an active listener. We learnt how to let things go. Don't sweat the small stuff !!!!  She was energetic and motivating.
