Diary of a teacher on lockdown

Term 3, Week 10. My class were meant to be on camp this week but due to alert levels, we have had to change our dates to Term 4. Regardless I still wanted my students to have some fun this week. Therefore the Room 7 Fun Week came into action.

Totally understanding the need for my tamariki to have some other type of learning activities while learning from home. We finished off our Project Based Learning for our current unit in Week 9 and kick started our Fun Week today. 

The objective is to have some hands on fun activities to do from home and be creative and innovative. Each day, there is a different activity to do but the goal is to give it a go and of course blog about your fun idea and creation. 

A while ago, I shared a poster with my class which emphasised the positive effects lockdown learning can have on our tamariki. There is often the discussion that students are not learning as much while learning from home. That not physically being at school and learning in school will have negative effects on their learning. However, this poster opened up another perspective.

Here it is: WHAT IF THEY ARE AHEAD?


would be very keen to have a discussion with any of my fellow teaching colleagues around the motu about how you have found the engagement of your learners during this lockdown. What innovative ideas did you put into action to engage your learners during your class meets?
