 * =====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 88%;">Stacey (Karangahake Yr 6-8) If you can visit this website MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "www.prometheanplanet.com." claiming to be http://www.prometheanplanet.com. Hikutaia and Christian Schools definitely need to register with this website. It has so many flipchart folders (ActivInspire) that they will be able to download, change to suit their needs, and use in their classrooms. I have uploaded a flipchart that I am currently using for teaching Numpa Mult/Div. It is not finished but it is a work in progress. If for any reason it has not uploaded (as I seem to be having trouble locating it!!!) they have Newpapers in Education flipcharts. These are awesome! There is just so much on this website that you end up spending a whole weekend downloading different flipcharts!!! It is an awesome place to share so when they are ready they can upload flipcharts onto the website as well. If for any reason people that have ActivInspire feel that they are lost with working any of the programmes the website has little tutorials to help with any of these. Also if they would like to come and see our school in action by all means we can set up some times and do some workshops here or do a shadowing day! We work with our boards everyday and absolutely love them, plus we have already lived through that teething time with them and coming from a teachers perspective we do definitely know the frustrations that come with these boards intitially!!! Hope this helps and if it isn’t clear or you would like any help feel free to come and visit or give us a call!!! =====
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 12px;">Dawn (Goldfields Snr Unit) Current Affairs focus on news item with a difference. Statement presented -> students select one of 7 servant cards and ask a question. Initially teacher and now student initiated item of interest with some parents becoming involved in selection and preparation of item.
 * Tanya (Goldfields Snr Unit) Newsboard-> initially scanning using 7 servants to access facts/information, incorporating word study, clarification of phrases etc, location of places on maps, -> lead to research - using fax machine to retrieve information - ongoing.
 * Jill (Paeroa Christian Yr 6-8) Practising PhotoStory - students working co-operatively in groups of 3, using microphone and adding music. Programme is simple ad proving motivating - well received by boys in particular. Changing grouping so student tutoring occuring.
 * Gay (Miller Ave Yr 7-8) PhotoStory - initially restricted to 4 photos to develop skill in process - sequencing. Class debates have developed focussed on criteria/reflections on suitability, clarity: audience, language, technical presentation. Lead to adventure based on a fairy tale using images from Google. Continually looking for ways to apply same work ethics/programme in other curriculum areas - current events, creating resource for Junior audeince. Looking into use of CSI (Comprehension Strategies Instruction) an engaging evidence based literacy resource to help students learn comprehension, vocabulary and fluency across the content areas o learning (as a result of attendance at Rototuna School PD day). www.csi-literacy.com
 * Kerry (Tirohia Yr 6-8) Using "x2 positive and x1 challenge" peer assessment for set personal goals - in order of one positive comment, one challenging comment and one positive comment. Weekly school assemblies co-constructed by senior students - peer feedback prior to assembly.Trialling AVAILLL reading programme strategies with the story "Charlotte's Web". Also including "Take a dictionary to the movies"- great for reluctant readers. (AVAILLL (Audio Visual Achievement In Literacy, Language and Learning) $90 per manual - there are three manuals in the set - Workshop at Miller Ave Saturday 12th June 9am-2.30pm @ $55 per person - contact christine@millerave.school.nz for more info.)
 * Kerry: [[file:Tuning In.pdf]]Using photos to stimulate critical/creative thinking
 * Liz (Miller Ave Yr 5-8) Powerpoint co-constructed by students on using thinking tools in their learning.
 * Naomi (Paeroa St Jos Yr 6-8) Focus: Anzac Day and Gallipoli - used video to introduce the skills of notetaking and keywords which were recorded in a Y-Chart and then using those keywords to explain in their own words what it would have been like there for the soldiers. Criteria set for the writing and used in feedback which brought out school values. Presented as WORD document using a watermark as background and then collated as a class book.
 * Des (Hikutaia Yr 6-8) PAINT pictures used as washouts behind City Poems. Great to have personally created images to support their writing. Those students who attended a recent "Leadership" day in Rotorua are preparing a PowerPoint to share the experiences of their day at the whole school assembly.
 * Karen (Hikutaia) A visual presentation of a glimpse of Guided Inquiry, the use of Kidspiration and Inspiration for brainstorming, the use of ICTs to promote good practice and high quality with focussed intentions/criteria. Robert Swartz ([] - thinking -based learning) - Graphic Organisers and particularly good for teaching part-whole relationships in learning..
