These sites are used to store all aspects of planning. Daily planning should clearly demonstrate the pathway from assessment through the planning stages to the class or group activities and learning intentions. Year 4 - 8 use class sites for all planning which is transparent to children, management and parents. Years 1-3 use sites for planning and sharing of work, accessing learning activities and storage of data. You can access our Ako/Class sites HERE.
