All of this is backed by science and research that support this approach. Think of it as tools for resilience and growth, something we always wish we had more of I'm sure. </p><p>These tools support our learners, teachers and community to think optimistically, bounce forward (not just back) from setbacks and learn from our mistakes. </p><p>One area of Pos Ed is character strengths. Each of us have our own strengths and being able to identify them and use them effectively is important. Knowing when we are overusing them is just as important too.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_U8pRhSW_E-PZQXC-5w2GtsXEeTHXwsu-Ov8_JoPb7ELLE2LpSj5txp1pzIr8x0qqIm-iIRlXnbyCttBWaNBV5grbfEz_08KAmIblOHWtktX8vG8AC3TCcGABEF4xNhdyzbFb22OFSfNKSlrCfnmdfaxI-XdDvsdDqQhejz5FxLqYYKVm54nR5IcLqDY/s4032/IMG_4965.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_U8pRhSW_E-PZQXC-5w2GtsXEeTHXwsu-Ov8_JoPb7ELLE2LpSj5txp1pzIr8x0qqIm-iIRlXnbyCttBWaNBV5grbfEz_08KAmIblOHWtktX8vG8AC3TCcGABEF4xNhdyzbFb22OFSfNKSlrCfnmdfaxI-XdDvsdDqQhejz5FxLqYYKVm54nR5IcLqDY/s320/IMG_4965.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtvkcr09UJm3IVmo8EbPqIYvLPDtwv7Xqhk-9Y4QKPEcCQ1ohSBZr2NYQE3SydiOK-N17qPmYy0DrOZ7gwh1oVHS00nX4Q0mDFb0D_E8_yh6h6cBI7HWUZErijED75dfhrKMNzIrVtcAYSgH3EJa8qNpWPIhzi5PyFoZ66gOEWBKaSN1FEMHz4LeBTrg/s4032/IMG_4964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtvkcr09UJm3IVmo8EbPqIYvLPDtwv7Xqhk-9Y4QKPEcCQ1ohSBZr2NYQE3SydiOK-N17qPmYy0DrOZ7gwh1oVHS00nX4Q0mDFb0D_E8_yh6h6cBI7HWUZErijED75dfhrKMNzIrVtcAYSgH3EJa8qNpWPIhzi5PyFoZ66gOEWBKaSN1FEMHz4LeBTrg/s320/IMG_4964.JPG" width="240" /></a></p><p>You hopefully will have seen these around our school, either on posters on walls our scattered in key locations in the playground. More importantly you will hear them being talked about around the school and in our community. Even better you might have heard the around the dinner table.</p><p>These are just a selection of strengths that we focus on and serve as a guide for us to help navigate different situations. In Autahi we have been learning about a few of these strengths that have helped us so far. Things like Bravery, Perseverance and Curiosity are key for those first few weeks of school. We dial up our Bravery when we say goodbye to our whanau in the morning and we dial up our Perseverance when we are trying to write the words we want to make a story.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxAQbv-GlAkHZ_pYfMtCVCH15KQJVaGyBhiGE8wrzv6iBK3WP-F0Oia95H50jH_NpNBp8S8twgP2-l6Ms67st157t198sg3eELqpdzlg-hDBAun2sdOb9bZLAxigYXhttuKXb6Hp73Wo3O_vd4lqLWqT6jBwuQFUq8BcDSUqh15jYL-Mpdgzc6EZvKvA/s4032/IMG_4961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxAQbv-GlAkHZ_pYfMtCVCH15KQJVaGyBhiGE8wrzv6iBK3WP-F0Oia95H50jH_NpNBp8S8twgP2-l6Ms67st157t198sg3eELqpdzlg-hDBAun2sdOb9bZLAxigYXhttuKXb6Hp73Wo3O_vd4lqLWqT6jBwuQFUq8BcDSUqh15jYL-Mpdgzc6EZvKvA/s320/IMG_4961.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We unpack what each of the strengths represent.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ4omMpFnMIBQ2FqWtP4Au0FYD9aAMSil_WHcFfXeKX3xlEFY6hiZZrAarsJdRsyC2_JGZEtH-hjgI9Bnce1g2G_jO6iRdalQvAaxQpEBaMH33IHWkXzoZ4W88NRMbgRyAZJobF7TpQnoQo0mMczWDZOtjuxYJCF5iK1-wBTtBcfLgDePqMpTnjXlcKfs/s4032/IMG_4962.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ4omMpFnMIBQ2FqWtP4Au0FYD9aAMSil_WHcFfXeKX3xlEFY6hiZZrAarsJdRsyC2_JGZEtH-hjgI9Bnce1g2G_jO6iRdalQvAaxQpEBaMH33IHWkXzoZ4W88NRMbgRyAZJobF7TpQnoQo0mMczWDZOtjuxYJCF5iK1-wBTtBcfLgDePqMpTnjXlcKfs/s320/IMG_4962.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And what the strengths might sound like around our community.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8b2297c-7fff-3392-f54f-16fbf3e965cc"><span style="font-family: Quicksand, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 320px; overflow: hidden; width: 221px;"><img height="320" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/CMRhXpNFsqO7Us0G-2rLXEu5K70GCfQ7q9OhxTh8SXQXuRt75jIXoeSTC5dNgr9HIjpuKyaE9uIrpn6bzNSU8wsab8V0njJQYDbhqyOuILAnDXbehmPN6uRAxLHFBjRzv7yJjKQBh17B_-znngv_sgc" style="margin-left: -18.566395663956666px; margin-top: 0px;" width="239.56639566395665" /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As well as picture ourselves when we use the strength.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is so much more to Positive Education and we have only just scratched the surface.

This book is carefully-chosen because it is rich with story features, juicy words and ideas for us to explore. We take a whole week to fully unpack what the book has to offer, returning to it daily to explore new themes. Sometimes our focus picture book connects with our Inquiry topic. It might also provide inspiration for our writing. </p><p>Our book this week is <i>Henry's Map</i> by David Elliot.</p><p><img alt="Henry's Map by David Elliot - Penguin Books New Zealand" aria-hidden="false" class="sFlh5c pT0Scc iPVvYb" jsaction="VQAsE" jsname="kn3ccd" src="https://cdn2.penguin.com.au/covers/original/9780399160721.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: auto; -webkit-user-select: text; height: 405px; margin: 0px; max-width: 2400px; width: 326px;" /></p><p>Here are some ways that we are using this delightful picture book to help with our learning.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">1. Getting to know a character</h3><div>We learn a lot about Henry in this story. We are told some things explicitly. Other details are there to be discovered by reading attentively and noticing clues, such as what Henry says and does, and how others respond to him. Also, since this is a picture book, we use our visual literacy skills and look closely at the pictures. Reading for meaning is a bit like detective work: we teach our students how to gather information from small details.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQgX_a39yYuMvshZcRpiWQVMbytJkuB02QPI4ue6NkZFJ-0wegGZRB0LqYNp4HVfuPsDa8R_LNZFqXezX8L49sLual3ZI4Hi64QzGvQXypvluFhJUX94MmvEQD3wrF0vANbnZIwxSM-kwJY9ng_bYF5OmODKiU26yKXXoVUQS5Pt0ZM3K3AE96r69Gf0-B" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="678" data-original-width="910" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQgX_a39yYuMvshZcRpiWQVMbytJkuB02QPI4ue6NkZFJ-0wegGZRB0LqYNp4HVfuPsDa8R_LNZFqXezX8L49sLual3ZI4Hi64QzGvQXypvluFhJUX94MmvEQD3wrF0vANbnZIwxSM-kwJY9ng_bYF5OmODKiU26yKXXoVUQS5Pt0ZM3K3AE96r69Gf0-B" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDoNp1kE3ESTp66JfVvj8dJ3D5aro2Wx7Jn6efSheVQuBE5CMOvsEXz2tUS16oY6_yXuvr03moZtoaIJ10mS1WEqTQu5dsaJtq1l-w7Y_fDa1ensvnpghQXUrzo2GR2MP1IzqlotYqyrJ8II1jCny-mIds0RG4V6WFhf-GfwkgY75Jz0Fh-IB6a3xg7PfD" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="902" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDoNp1kE3ESTp66JfVvj8dJ3D5aro2Wx7Jn6efSheVQuBE5CMOvsEXz2tUS16oY6_yXuvr03moZtoaIJ10mS1WEqTQu5dsaJtq1l-w7Y_fDa1ensvnpghQXUrzo2GR2MP1IzqlotYqyrJ8II1jCny-mIds0RG4V6WFhf-GfwkgY75Jz0Fh-IB6a3xg7PfD" width="246" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjizWlpaC6H13oibno85yPWSfI_DLMDxom0nl5Brcc_kWYRy7aTlTQF_vZWwMawZBH4R9cb-W14qYC9hz1k9MYAogASqtC0vCtIrRX0yzcdA1SQr7BPn-cTrh41zJoBX4GjZyT9UH27lZG_oaZyOYZRBYnanOwsEPNB_Ng5a3XHLx8xEBoxkSVvZT9TRHbV" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="754" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjizWlpaC6H13oibno85yPWSfI_DLMDxom0nl5Brcc_kWYRy7aTlTQF_vZWwMawZBH4R9cb-W14qYC9hz1k9MYAogASqtC0vCtIrRX0yzcdA1SQr7BPn-cTrh41zJoBX4GjZyT9UH27lZG_oaZyOYZRBYnanOwsEPNB_Ng5a3XHLx8xEBoxkSVvZT9TRHbV" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>It is also important for our students to learn that the people who do things in stories are called characters.

We noticed that there were a group of students who would choose to come in and draw pictures every morning before school started for the day. The same group of students also had a refined pencil grip and found forming letter shapes correctly easier than their peers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrXH-jKLd8fqR3lJDUUzJ0LpKGQtsP4RS3nuvfxDtubifBmlrGHXBT3oW2GwVqwPuIuhMNdw3sCMThKAPavypBSFjCJYENDU6-wgXlYgaFUcFpsVoawcRL6wLRXRi2adZzRby4ATGeh1UJjLlT8aBHXd3b_In5dYv51b3kan5bB6dlyvX2vejf_yRmsQ/s4032/IMG_4927.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrXH-jKLd8fqR3lJDUUzJ0LpKGQtsP4RS3nuvfxDtubifBmlrGHXBT3oW2GwVqwPuIuhMNdw3sCMThKAPavypBSFjCJYENDU6-wgXlYgaFUcFpsVoawcRL6wLRXRi2adZzRby4ATGeh1UJjLlT8aBHXd3b_In5dYv51b3kan5bB6dlyvX2vejf_yRmsQ/s320/IMG_4927.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This sparked the idea for the daily draw.

Our students need no encouragement to ask questions. We can help them to refine and shape their questions. Broad, open questions can be particularly useful as we begin an Inquiry, helping us to find out what we know already and what our lines of inquiry might be. As our Inquiry progresses, we might choose questions that pinpoint specific information that we want to know.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">This term, our inquiry into Atua is taking us into the realms of Tangaroa and Tāne Mahuta. Autahi students are keen to know more about the children of Tangaroa and also of Tāne Mahuta. Our visit to Taputeranga Marine Reserve gives us an opportunity to find out more about the children of Tangaroa that live in our local coastal areas.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It can be stories, letters or anything that sparks their imagination.</p><p>These books encourage learners to practise without worrying about getting things right. It encourages mistakes and creativity. All the time with a pencil in hand helps them build up their writing muscles. Last year we did an experiment in getting all our learners to do a daily draw. This was a small picture every day to help them with pencil control and building a good pencil grip. <br /></p><p>At home you could encourage the same kind of 'have a go' in a special book that can get them to explore writing and help grow their imagination.</p><p>Check out some examples of 'have a go' below.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQk9fk5WSFU-NZ1mtvYmg2eYJMqUCmHzGhciT-eL3Ru2HsScgbxRBoCJLHHaQUADXNGAysC9PEbK9JwnBBkbBpnijrKftO5vPDdqtD3JDNO2B_ouS3IQHk4D_rtHLu44XPe7Bmp00E2jYmgAtFLQH6HCbFn1qtKonS6-yHoP399G_HCayitL0qQ530JYs/s4032/IMG_4569.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQk9fk5WSFU-NZ1mtvYmg2eYJMqUCmHzGhciT-eL3Ru2HsScgbxRBoCJLHHaQUADXNGAysC9PEbK9JwnBBkbBpnijrKftO5vPDdqtD3JDNO2B_ouS3IQHk4D_rtHLu44XPe7Bmp00E2jYmgAtFLQH6HCbFn1qtKonS6-yHoP399G_HCayitL0qQ530JYs/s320/IMG_4569.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBbrfIkFdSC4Rb1N5VkPsBmzBIttxA3U4EqKzFiW8iAXlNn-bxdo0ZR3tvrGm1pUuQ1jzl9NccAseQzNzAiT77F2MhDBC2vcFUL3uU-TSLSGo7xpzwGaT50QvVexV1jeCl8srnWJQYuUKYe2Go1QfhzkztKHLgIchBxqA9Aw9a0FtGB6Ef9OTopX9QNA/s4032/IMG_4568.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBbrfIkFdSC4Rb1N5VkPsBmzBIttxA3U4EqKzFiW8iAXlNn-bxdo0ZR3tvrGm1pUuQ1jzl9NccAseQzNzAiT77F2MhDBC2vcFUL3uU-TSLSGo7xpzwGaT50QvVexV1jeCl8srnWJQYuUKYe2Go1QfhzkztKHLgIchBxqA9Aw9a0FtGB6Ef9OTopX9QNA/s320/IMG_4568.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6uO5aJMxZ0Zs5DhBIIKfmhlXgH4N4LVEy-joG361V7qFeSY5RdSzLMsfW838hGJxKKWOXyl1IkomX1VRUmi4TV2A78hV6t36xfZCKNxYDNJGeEW-kz8H0hy_AS_zQk7KuhjRNEpjAD8lqbETS42Hq9IMaOaUHs6tb7MQxqP2KDvWFynOXaiQYhtPbcs/s4032/IMG_4567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6uO5aJMxZ0Zs5DhBIIKfmhlXgH4N4LVEy-joG361V7qFeSY5RdSzLMsfW838hGJxKKWOXyl1IkomX1VRUmi4TV2A78hV6t36xfZCKNxYDNJGeEW-kz8H0hy_AS_zQk7KuhjRNEpjAD8lqbETS42Hq9IMaOaUHs6tb7MQxqP2KDvWFynOXaiQYhtPbcs/s320/IMG_4567.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoxCS_oQ4JeC3LDKm4Hc_EFDHeIT4fK2OZETKjtu3n47Yz-e_tBgKmKqBnGdVqP9NeSLDk3GNv8wG_x67lKYCoDrhCabMEatuM7TEOEzXFbtrdd_ZffEZIfSCcAZG8NBL58KVY04UVn-uJP00vE_KJaASaX2c9_IRpiW00NsX-e-HnImV4akF966cTdM/s4032/IMG_4566.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoxCS_oQ4JeC3LDKm4Hc_EFDHeIT4fK2OZETKjtu3n47Yz-e_tBgKmKqBnGdVqP9NeSLDk3GNv8wG_x67lKYCoDrhCabMEatuM7TEOEzXFbtrdd_ZffEZIfSCcAZG8NBL58KVY04UVn-uJP00vE_KJaASaX2c9_IRpiW00NsX-e-HnImV4akF966cTdM/s320/IMG_4566.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Carl Pynenburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702558228042179588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719951742369060688.post-86249789544111488402023-10-11T19:55:00.004+13:002023-10-11T19:55:35.541+13:00The Storm Whale<p> <i>The Storm Whale,</i> by Benji Davies, tells the story of a boy called Noi who lives by the sea with his father.

This allows us to gain a deep understanding of the story that will enrich our own writing. It also provides great opportunities for us to practise retelling stories and sharing our ideas.</p><p>Children in Autahi are learning to identify who the characters are in the stories they read, and also the setting (where the story is happening). <i>The Storm Whale</i>, like many stories, has a problem at the heart of it.

Having quick recall of basic facts helps speed along calculations and support number sense. We start to build our students' recall of Basic Facts in Autahi. For us, this includes doubles and addition pairs to 10, 20 and beyond. </p><p>Doubles are pairs of the same number such as 2 + 2 or 4 + 4. We learn doubles to 5, then 10. Fingers are a really helpful for learning doubles to 5.</p><p>Addition pairs include number bonds to 10 (all the pairings of numbers that make 10, such as 2 + 8, 6 + 4, 3 + 7) and 20. We also practise other addition pairings within 10 and 20. With practise, our students are able to recall many of these facts straight away, without having to do a calculation.</p><p>There are plenty of fun ways to learn these valuable facts. This week, we have been introducing our students to a variety of basic facts activities and games. We will be using these to build their basic facts recall over the next couple of weeks.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-bc6ae07c-7fff-98ff-8932-8a82e21a40c2"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 237px; overflow: hidden; width: 525px;"><img height="216" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/BWh2srcX-YFg4XKQ3Hi0jVUvqc4tt6CoW5d9zDZ1qQ0fRDiweK2EJO_6z2caWvi2-bjiulyQjcmnzb71die9qaFjE5rE-6Kei7FGb8JNXLoVnySDXT9dBOPzVkC3htCEwiLGRQNcycBi7wG_WB1K6MU=w478-h216" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="478" /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img height="336" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ibxyTk4hE1jCZn7ZKzkJwPFXwS7h5rmkESUVgL1MzUbD2LeBFUGBhJxPFTzXvkE3KmttD4rf0mVJ4oaOSttyZlNr9mSDK8_xrh-3Mq4rVApDWaaROnST0H1o7UuH7BFBTiUTpc1Rk6VQKTwIeIfAFaE=w266-h336" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666667px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;" width="266" /></p><p>Ask your child about the games they've been playing and the facts they're learning. There are many easy ways to support their learning by practising these skills at home, too (quizzing doubles or number bonds makes those long car journeys or the walk to school fly by!).

font-size: large; text-align: center;">Traditionally on Friday afternoons, the junior school have had 'golden time'. This is where tamariki have been able to celebrate the great work they have completed throughout the week by choosing how they would like to spend the afternoon. Some people bought board games to share and play, others spent time creating craft, music, lego or marble runs and also had more time to choose play outside. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans; font-size: medium;">During this time, the seniors also had 'Friday Games' afternoon. They were able to choose which game they would like to join, after they had completed their weekly reflection.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans; font-size: medium;">We have decided to trial a new idea on Friday afternoons this term by combining the whole school together to create a play afternoon called Takaro Tahi (play together). </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans; font-size: medium;">Our tamariki can still choose the things that they love to do the most (two ball football with John is a big draw card!), but as an added bonus, we now have the 'big kids' playing with and alongside our juniors. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans; font-size: medium;">We have been using this time to put out some 'loose parts' like ropes, pulleys, pipes and containers to see what the tamariki would create together. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans; font-size: medium;">We have been excited to see how well they work together and help each other create new ways to play. The seniors are experts at helping us tie knots, making swings in the trees and creating a pulley system along the big slide. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMQYmMzSvsIrAzxSpjkKdt-5WkZ3-fymSG8uF8zpukJMdAIJ4JA9-LZ26_Sn71yK2exULTUdD34RTpoY4qzripYGJj9gLBKHjiE0s9hVwjj0wE0zFuIm9tTgXJQq7BfWA4geOfHwnbprPqw7rKsGLjcUd1RiQSbFjJXpIvBhMhUlRJKdIiNR6IXAh-7xhG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Unlike the word 'teach' in English (implying one-way traffic from the teacher to the learner), 'ako' contains the concepts of both teaching and learning. This beautifully conveys how we experience life as kaiako: we hope to pass on a little learning, but daily find ourselves learning just as much in return from our students! Added to this, ongoing study to keep our skills sharp is part of the mix. </p><p>Right now, the Junior team is doing some literacy study with the University of Canterbury. We will definitely be sharing lots more on this with you - and soon. But for now, I thought I'd share one small nugget of learning that spoke to me as a parent, as well as a teacher. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Oral narrative skills: the ability to tell or retell fictional stories</span></h2><p>Kaiako are always keen to encourage whānau to share books together. We also know that a rich, oral language environment at home (lots of talk with lots of different words - in any language or languages) helps children when they start school. Our recent studies have focussed especially on the skill of oral storytelling (oral narrative skills).</p><p>Our children's oral narrative skills are important in the early years of school. They help children to take part in classroom life and connect with subjects from across the curriculum. Our students bring a lot of knowledge with them to school. They learn best when they can connect new ideas with what they already know. Sharing knowledge and experiences is part of this. For children, sharing often in the form of a simple story. Sound oral language skills enable children to share ideas with others and to build on what they already know.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiWV3QMo5fwqhHbyzRMQ4Pc3bV33KMcoy4ICEvHZTrWxdlYYIya01IdOjfw-ujM6mR8Fk1vVXs9EwzeAcSydEYY_65RyvO8NxE8upm-rV1yB79UzvQqR-tdRVKoEytKTKD10HnrhQNo7kQNlpZdGn-jdRQkAgO27-XRyZ-ntp5SqIFJC21awEtd_H8p8Ct" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="808" data-original-width="456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiWV3QMo5fwqhHbyzRMQ4Pc3bV33KMcoy4ICEvHZTrWxdlYYIya01IdOjfw-ujM6mR8Fk1vVXs9EwzeAcSydEYY_65RyvO8NxE8upm-rV1yB79UzvQqR-tdRVKoEytKTKD10HnrhQNo7kQNlpZdGn-jdRQkAgO27-XRyZ-ntp5SqIFJC21awEtd_H8p8Ct=w180-h320" width="180" /></a> <img alt="" class="css-9pa8cd" draggable="false" height="318" src="https://imaging.seesaw.me/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmagiccam-assets-us-west-2.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fus-2%2F6%2F3%2F6%2Fb%2Fd%2F5%2F636bd5de-c27e-47b1-b3aa-c215d6343e34.jpg%3A%3A%3A1691492876%3A%3A%3A1209600%3A%3A%3A1%3A%3A%3AscwPYFU6AiB46BaVu7TYTRdyrt7fHHrzYVTcbp2XQKL3gje3f0c6P_5euQWNx04_2c28MgShGbF-Di7MvfL8zg.jpg&w=1080&h=1080&mode=clip" style="text-align: left;" width="178" /></div><br />Research now also shows us that a child's ability to retell a story is a predictor of their success at school, particularly at reading comprehension. Reading comprehension means being able to understand fully what a text means. It is possible to decode and 'read' a story without really understanding it. The Simple View of Reading suggests that good readers combine efficient decoding (identifying the sounds in a word and blending them together) with comprehension skills to make sense of what they are reading. In other words, for our children to be good readers, we need to work on both decoding and comprehension.<p></p><p>To understand what we are reading, we use our vocabulary knowledge plus general and subject-specific knowledge. If we have experienced other similar stories or texts, this helps us, too. For children, sharing books and stories with an adult is very beneficial. An adult reader can help them to understand new words and check their understanding of the story by asking questions and retelling the tricky parts. Adult readers can also provide extra information and context around the story to support the child's understanding and build their general knowledge.</p><p>And there is more. Enjoyed reading a story or watching a movie together? Now try retelling that story with your child, perhaps while walking or driving together. Who is in the story? How did the story begin? What happened next? What was the exciting bit? How did the story end up? Storytelling opens up golden opportunities to practice oral language skills and sequencing (arranging things in order). You could also try making up a silly story together. Or ask your child: "Tell me about something that happened at school today." This is worth persevering with even if, like me, you sometimes get the response, "I can't remember!"</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="css-9pa8cd" draggable="false" height="344" src="https://imaging.seesaw.me/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmagiccam-assets-us-west-2.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fus-2%2F6%2F7%2F7%2F2%2Fc%2F0%2F6772c03d-3060-4b91-ab5f-e797488ce5da.jpg%3A%3A%3A1691291460%3A%3A%3A1209600%3A%3A%3A1%3A%3A%3ARZsz6hr6uGkA0YfQw56kgJVqpoDK1Rg9m0nkIf6oVz8c6J1Cp_7hoiEhvAs3PYtTwKxquLePLj4JCocrUuSzUQ.jpg&w=1080&h=1080&mode=clip" width="193" /></p><p>In telling even the simplest story, your child will need to use their language skills at text level (choosing the right individual words), sentence level (putting the words together in the right order to create meaning) and text level (sequencing events to tell the story). There is a lot of wonderful, rich learning going on here - as well as connecting and sharing. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Beth Wyllyamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198566500340437406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719951742369060688.post-9568744717101923192023-08-03T17:46:00.001+12:002023-08-03T17:46:09.398+12:00Making a cloud - A science experiment<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxHFkctjooXVNEqi2IBbzPZXZVLeprlAI8eTWTG-zQWTpNa6ut-vhAJsQchPHpX-KHV1UhyO0d0Pxp2bnLuEwXzTbSNoy9gVwzuqaqi3cnpvqt6kO7N2IkXdfK6h2RcTi2YWcrAeYT72aXRKC5O3IDHbVSg_xOQ2Th56L1Ls_wrc7yxtTNsiCzDpwS4Q/s4032/IMG_4051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxHFkctjooXVNEqi2IBbzPZXZVLeprlAI8eTWTG-zQWTpNa6ut-vhAJsQchPHpX-KHV1UhyO0d0Pxp2bnLuEwXzTbSNoy9gVwzuqaqi3cnpvqt6kO7N2IkXdfK6h2RcTi2YWcrAeYT72aXRKC5O3IDHbVSg_xOQ2Th56L1Ls_wrc7yxtTNsiCzDpwS4Q/s320/IMG_4051.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyWhNQ5xmspLGx5yLMUxhMpBp4t_X1tsukBtL9jcPbqiGyixdxrUtUM4RDsuJP7N0kkf9Mt0oaAppEWYaR-giXaIHtNQbzzD934ERuxNwh84Xoy4gRKgAZZUbwSWphg6p605p5pIT5rx8VFccJwmIdyTOpHm0G8frfAwGV4WQYJZcAWri3fibKXeBTeNY/s4032/IMG_4052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyWhNQ5xmspLGx5yLMUxhMpBp4t_X1tsukBtL9jcPbqiGyixdxrUtUM4RDsuJP7N0kkf9Mt0oaAppEWYaR-giXaIHtNQbzzD934ERuxNwh84Xoy4gRKgAZZUbwSWphg6p605p5pIT5rx8VFccJwmIdyTOpHm0G8frfAwGV4WQYJZcAWri3fibKXeBTeNY/s320/IMG_4052.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This week in Autahi we have been thinking like a scientist.
