Royal Oak Tree of Learning- Planning Pathway

As mentioned in a previous blog, Royal Oak Primary has been working with Darlene on developing our own personalised 'Learning Pathway'. This individual pathway has been developed by taking ideas, strategies and terminology from various approaches that have worked well within our school.

All staff have been given copies of the pathway and notes on each of its 3 stages. Our next step is to come together in Week 9 to plan our learning focus for term 4 using our pathway...I will keep you posted on how this goes!

ICT Lead Teacher Day- August 07

On Monday 20th August the ICT lead teachers from the 4 schools in our cluster met at Royal Oak Primary School. Well once again we came together for another productive day of professional networking, discussion and idea sharing.
We begun by updating each other on what was happening at our schools and sharing examples of our planning.
We then travelled to Robertson Road Primary to view their 'interactive wall displays' and discuss relevant ideas and issues with their Deputy Principal.
As always, when we meet with other teaching colleagues, we were involved in professional dialogue and walked away with many suggestions and ideas to trial in our own classrooms/ schools.
A great day thank you! :)

Quality Classrooms 2

Enjoy this one too!!!

Quality Classrooms

In Room 3, we brainstormed ideas about 'Quality Classrooms.' Then we talked about the behaviours which would support a Quality Classroom. We talked about working above the line (Quality) and below the line. The children made use of the brainstorm and the discussions to make a photostory about Quality Classrooms.

Enjoy the Photostory
