What is going on here?
Returning back from along school break can have its own challenges, introducing new tamariki into a new learning environment and space, adjusting to new routines, expectations and who fits where in social circles. Connecting new pathways for our takiwatanga tamariki and there learning, to regulating emotions.
How is it all going?
Tamariki are settling in well, with all the diversity among our learners they are discovering their own social ability to learn and connect in their learning environment. Some tamariki are establishing a place where others are using their manaakitanga to support others. We are using alot of redirecting and support with our tamariki hou moulding them to the kopa, discovering levels of learning through aromatawai, that giving kaiako a indication of what matauranga our tamariki understand within te ao māori and how we can develop that knowledge further.
Moving forward: We are discovering where our tamariki are through grouping them in roopu iti within our mahi, this is going well. Tamariki are discovering huringa mahi within all curriculum areas and our takiwātanga tamariki are establishing a place. Our 1-1 learning is strengthening all tamariki i all areas of there learning, building their own autonomy to develop and learn within their learning environment.
Some tamariki are struggling with boundaries, but this is where kaiako are using our Mana wall and all resources provided to them to ensure we are meeting all needs of our tamariki while they learn and grow.
