Te Reo in my classroom

Te Reo is evident in my classroom through kupu and small phrases.  This has been evidenced in my Appraisal Document 2017.   During whanau hui I incorporate things as we are learning:

ie; when learning Kei te pehea koe? x2 new feelings kupu go up on the slide each week.
     when learning our pepeha a new line is added when the children are ready.

Taking a group to Rehua Marae

 As teacher in charge of the Kapa Haka group I organised  a trip to Rehua Marae for an experience for our tamariki.

Learning how to listen

All students are modelled what a good listener looks like. Examples are given and constant praise is given to those demonstrating these skills ie: "I love the way you are showing good listening skills".

Students are expected to be attentive to their peers when one another are sharing.
