Creativity

Was a good way to get teachers creating and using authentic creating relating to
their pasts. Teachers did not wont to stop creating. Teachers realize they are rushing
and not letting the student have the time to create. Was good to have a local school as an example from the 1960's Oruaiti primary school. They made a connection to our local community. Schools are enjoying students using google draw and screen castify they are getting very creative and thinking outside the square. TIME!!!!!! to create is important.

Pompallier Whanau Evening

A great night at Pompallier primary Kaitaia last night. I was very proud of the students who presented all their learning they have been doing with me over the last 2 terms. They were cyber smart and confident at explaining the learning and the why. It was positive to hear the enthusiasm from the parents wanting to support the Manaiakalani process.  I was also overwhelmed by the thank you gift and kind words.
