blogging

Blogging is a great way to share their learning with others outside of the classroom for our ākonga. At BOIC all students are set up with a Blog Site at the start of their schooling year and each of their teachers has them post about the various learnings that are going on in all of their subjects. This is a opportunity for ākonga to be creative and reflective on what they are doing within the classroom and to inform whānau of the learning they are doing.

Within the PE & Health department we like to help develop their literacy skills through blogging and get them to reflect and keep diary's on the topics we are doing and at the end of each topic they are to look over their daily diary entries and complete 1 x blog reflection on their involvement in the entire unit. This is why it is equally important to have your PE gear every lesson as well as your chrome book.
