This year, teachers' are looking at 'Integrate Learning' and the styles of learning that takes place for our children and even though, these are focusses that have been part of planning for a great number of years, it is the depth and the how that is very new for many teachers. This is very exciting for us as educators and can be daunting for some. New practices and ideas will take a while for us to come to 'grips' with and even incorporate within the classroom environment. You as parents will see some changes occurring within the classroom in terms of wall displays (look out for charts organisers - these help organise your childrens' thoughts like 'bubble maps, Y charts, flow charts), how your children discuss ideas and how they promote discussions, the words (the good ones!) they use and even how they will start to think.

Please if you have some time, check out the Professional Development our school's teachers are undertaking and any other relevant information can be found in the left hand menu bar under 21st Century Learner or in the Peak-ICT wikispace (headed by our Cluster ICT Lead Teacher, Whaea Jeanette and can be clicked on in the 'Home Page' link of this wiki) which is a great resource for teachers and parents alike.
