Term 2, 2020! So Much Has Changed...

Well, Term 1 went in a very different direction than what I was anticipating in my last blog post!

 I was awaiting my first professional conversation around the direction to take my Maths Inquiry in, when we went into Lockdown in Term 1.

My Inquiry has now taken a different path as we have had to navigate the challenges of delivering distance learning to Year 2s and 3s. As Team Leader I've put my energy into designing a distance learning programme that would engage children in their home situations, enough that they would return to our site each day, with tasks that are achievable in a home setting and yet not too easy. 

I am proud of the open-ended tasks that we have designed during this time and the creative and individual results that were produced by our students. 

My Inquiry Question for now is: 

How can I provide accessible, achievable, engaging and rich tasks to our learners in their home environment?

Here is a link to our home learning which we are archiving as we go.

Here is some of my favourite content - as found on my Class On Air site, which is not Reading/Writing/Maths related, but was a lot of fun and put some smiles on many faces during this difficult time!
