Parents & Whanau

Welcome to parents and whanau of extension group students.

We hope you have found this site useful, knowing what your child is learning, creating, sharing and reflecting upon. A huge factor to your child's success has been your continual support. Here's a few reminders you can share with your whanau to assist in your child's progress.

BLOGS - your child's publishing space

*Visit your child's blog as often as you can and leave a comment. (here to find your chid's individual blog)

These are some guidelines your child uses when commenting:

a. Make it positive

b.Be thoughtful - show in your response that you've noticed certain detail in their post

c.Be helpful - you may wish to make a suggestion of something they can try to improve their writing

Pedagogy: Style of learning - examples of how we learn, create and share

*familiarise yourself with the language and practices inside your child's learning - go to tab 'Learn Create Share.

Not just within PES but further into the Manaiakalani Cluster.
