Kia ora koutou katoa - Hi everyone.One thousand apologies for not posting sooner but my main focus has been to get to know the wonderful students in my new class... Room 18 of Point England school - Wooohoooo!
I can honestly say I am absolutely delighted with my whole class. I have a room full of very talented year 6 students that have wonderful attitudes towards education and learning. What more could a teacher ask for? (besides muffins and chocolate biscuits)
I am slowly getting to know my students to see what makes them tick... their interests, passions, strengths and weaknesses AND like most of them said, a lot of them have the same passions and interests as myself, so we get on like a house on fire.
This terms topic is of course 'The art in storytelling' and we are having a blast. We have pretty much focused most learning areas around myths and legends, fairy tales and folk stories - so lots of fiction and fictitious characters. Students have been writing creative 'twisted fairy tales' to produce for their I.C.T learning object, so watch this space for future posts of movies and animations. Our reading material for our reading tumble has a fiction focus also. If you know anyone in Room 18, you might want to ask them about some of the folk stories or myths we have been reading about. We have been inspired by Dr Seuss's illustrations and have based some artwork around his weird and wonderful drawings - we might have to take some photos to post as well.
All in all, we are having a ball in Room 18. I have been really impressed with the activities a lot of my students have been involved in such as; interviewing the prime minister, conferencing with Hamish Campbell, presenting (on a weekly basis) to visiting teachers and principals, being school role models during assembly and lots more.
So, to all you followers of Pt England School... I feel blessed to be working in a school that really cares about each and every person linked to the school. the children, the staff and the community. Watch this space for more updates (and yes my goal is to post regularly) Ka kite ano - Arohanui Ms T x
Kia ora Ms T

Hi Ms.T,
ReplyDeleteIts really FUN having you around!! There are a lot of things I'm looking forward too having you as a teacher. Having similar interests and passions with you is cool because that way we would understand most of the things you do because of this. Since your the teacher you would have to try and teach us everything you know and I know that is a hard thing to do because we're kind of a non-stop talking classroom, but I know that there will be things that we kids can teach you!! I just really hope that we can make this an AMAZING journey for you at Pt England Primary School.

Kia Ora Ms T - I used to work in the area and I know what a wonderful school Point England is. Having followed their online work for a while as well I also feel that I 'know' Room 18. I am sure the students are thrilled to have you in the classroom and I bet that you are loving it. What a wonderful photograph of you!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo of you! I am absolutely thrilled that you are having a wonderful time with Room 18. Yes they can be a handful at times, but they have good hearts and I agree that they have wonderful attitudes towards their learning (most of the time!).
The class is so lucky to have gained such an awesome teacher who is obviously passionate about their learning. I look forward to seeing new posts throughout the year, and hope that you have as much fun with them as I have had.
All the best
