Professional Development:

2015 Oct 16                          MLE Observation - Hobsonville Point Primary School

Visit and observation of the roles teachers and students play in an MLE.  Opportunities to ask questions about the philosophies that underpin the planning and structure of learning at the school.

Looking at one of the immersion journeys the students take on. I witnessed them involved in looking at how stories have evolved and changed over time and the immersion stage of Maori myth and legend as part of Art integrated with Literacy and Change.
