2019 - Kia ora and welcome to my Manaiakalani Google Class OnAir site.
This is my sixth year teaching in a 1-1 Digital learning environment, and at Pt England School, Auckland, New Zealand.
I teach Year 5 & 6 learners who all have their very own Chromebook as their basic learning tool.
In New Zealand it is common practice to differentiate our teaching into small-group learning based on individual learning needs.
The groups that this site focuses on are considered to have similar learning needs, forming a collaborative learning group.
If you would like to contact me about any of my lessons or activities, please contact me via the links below.
Term 1: The Pt England Way
This term our focus is on community and role within the team or class. It relates to learning the routines and expectations for our classroom, as well as getting ready for our camp.
Term 2: I like your latitude.
This term our focus is on computational thinking within the context of directions and navigation.
Term 3: The Rocky Shore
This term our focus is around Science, and studying the Rocky Shore.
Term 4: Life's a stage
This term our focus is around Drama, Dance, and performance. However for our Year 6's a large focus is also Camp.
