For such a time as this...

Rest now, e Papatūānuku    Breathe easy and settle   Right here where you are

We’ll not move upon you

For awhile

We’ll stop, we’ll cease

We’ll slow down and stay home

Draw each other close and be kind

Kinder than we’ve ever been.

I wish we could say we were doing it for you

as much as ourselves

But hei aha

We’re doing it anyway

It’s right. It’s time.

Time to return

Time to remember

Time to listen and forgive

Time to withhold judgment

Time to cry

Time to think

About others

Remove our shoes

Press hands to soil

Sift grains between fingers

🍃 Gentle palms

Time to plant

Time to wait

Time to notice

To whom we belong

For now it’s just you

And the wind

And the forests and the oceans and the sky full of rain

Finally, it’s raining!

Ka turuturu te wai kamo o Rangi ki runga i a koe

Embrace it

This sacrifice of solitude we have carved out for you

He iti noaiho - a small offering

People always said it wasn’t possible

To ground flights and stay home and stop our habits of consumption

But it was

It always was.

We were just afraid of how much it was going to hurt

- and it IS hurting and it will hurt and continue to hurt

But not as much as you have been hurt.

So be still now

Wrap your hills around our absence

Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist

Rest.

Breathe.

Recover.

                                 Heal...and we will do the same.                             

Limiting the links and learning beyond the walls...

The Prime Minister announced on Tuesday 23rd March that we are moving to Level 3 for the next 48 hours and then from Thursday 26 March we move to Level 4 in the COVID-19 Alert Level structure for a further period of 4 weeks where people are instructed to stay at home.  For Tuesday and Wednesday, the expectations are that teachers go work to teach the children of essential workers, including children of teachers, and to prepare online work.  They will not be able to access the school site from midnight Wednesday and will work from home. Teachers will need to provide them with learning opportunities there to the greatest extent practicable. For those with online learning already in place, implement your online learning programme.    School holidays brought forward School holidays are being brought forward so that they are completed within the current 4 week period. Holidays will now begin from Monday 30 March to Tuesday 14 April inclusive (a reminder that the Tuesday after Easter Monday is always a closed day for schools).  However, at the end of the school holidays, schools will be open for distance learning but not physically open for staff to work at the schools.  Note the instruction to stay home (Alert Level 4) will continue beyond the new school holiday period but schools will be technically open for distance instruction. Teachers will be working offsite.                                                                                                   Supporting learning from home Here in Manaiakalani I have been helping my 21 classes, across 8 schools, to make their students learning visible, accessible and available in an authentic way. Here are just a few examples of how we're doing learning in a ubiquitous way from Y0 - Y8.                                                                         Rm 10 GTS    Yr 3 @ PBS    Team 2 (Y2/3) PES          Every class has a class blog, and most students have their own individual blog, which will allow connections to be maintained despite the current physical restrictions we are currently having to abide by.

T1 2020 the story so far...

This year I have x20 teachers across 8 schools within the Manaiakalani Kaahui Ako with an additional x2 teachers who are within the MIT (Manaiakalani Innovation Team) developing the ENGAGE programme in a turbocharged way.

Term 1 is about empowering learners (Teachers and Students) to be SMART LEARNERS

I have classes ranging from Y0 - Y8 and within that range I have 1:1 classes who have ipads and chromebooks, but also classes where devices are not in use so they are supported in a LEARN CREATE SHARE ethos.

Here are some examples of my in-class-support facilitation across all year groups to date...
