PLD 2022

Structured Literacy

This year we are continuing to work on developing our structured literacy programmes school-wide. As the members of the school that hadn’t previously had the training, we were receiving this at the beginning of the year the rest of us were working on our school-wide approach. It has been great to get into this more deeply this year to start working on this structured literacy site. It has been great this year to be implementing the rules and REVLOC knowledge we gained last year. It is exciting to see how the kids are progressing and how well they understand the rules, I love hearing the specific language being used. 

I am also enjoying working with Lillian and seeing how to do the coaching observations, they use a good recording sheet that identifies all the aspects we are looking for. 

 

PMP

Vicki from sport canterbury has come and given us an introduction of PMP with some key starting points. This session focussed on using the body and scarves and equipment that we have around the room. It was a really good session and got us thinking about the basics and allowed us to see how easy it is to implement as part of our class programme, she gave us some good ideas on brain gym activities. It was a fun, low-key session and she gave us lots of good resources to use. 

We then took what we learnt from her and used the knowledge with the specialised gym equipment we have. We use this every Friday in the whare manaaki and the kids love it! They always ask when is it gym time. I look forward to getting her to come back next term and see what we have been doing and for her to give us more tips and tricks and to ensure we are using the equipment correctly. 

PB4L

I have enjoyed the classroom practice teams sessions I have gone to with Rebecca. We have tweaked our form to ensure we are delving deeper into the behaviour and we ran a staff meeting on it with the school. We are going to have these CPT teams as the hub teams and have Jayne, Rebecca and I supporting one hub each. The recent session we attended we were able to see what forms other schools have come up with, I do enjoy these days. Check out this link for the PD session we did with staff.
