Healthy Active Living - Integrated Planning Staff Meeting

Putting the 'E' back into PE. 

Learning about integrating HPE across all areas. Discussed the why and the how. 

Activities to Try:

Spelling words, making shapes with bodies, pattern ball, telling time with cones, orienteering is a great link between movement and mathematical thinking. (spatial awareness, angles, positioning, time, mapping, directions, symbols etc), Skip counting using volley-ing - multiple teams that are competing, 

Using the sense in literacy - experiential learning, building, make it real, make it authentic

Use the environment around us to connect tamariki to it. 

Challenge: How can you integrate HPE throughout the wider curriculum? 

- basic facts games, coding and instructions, shuttle runs for structure of paragraph, create sounds, movement etc of what they hear, see, etc.

 Strategies for uncovering student understanding

Questioning by teachers 

 1. Random Talk Partners

• better behaviour, new friends, mutual respect, more confidence, learning from others, wont miss out. 
• Online randomiser, named lolly sticks. develop set criteria. End of week compliment slips. What did you like? 
• What advice do you have for your partner?
• only give 30sec to discuss. What did you and your partner discuss? Do not fix the pairings. Promote no hands-up. 

2. Student to teacher feedback

• learning happens during the lesson. Give them time to influence what they are doing. 
• No competitive rewards or ability groupings. Normalises errors. 
• start with a 5 minute prior knowledge discussion. Share current understanding. What have they remembered? Students discuss for 3 minutes while teacher listens. 
• check the understanding of the lesson. What could I have done better? What did I do that helps you understand? 
• overloading the working memory. 3 or 4 steps at a time. What is the off-task behaviors telling me? 

3. Mid Lesson learning feedback

• healthy learning culture with his self-efficacy. Students learn to compare their work with others. See similarities and areas for improvement. 
• use exemplars. what are the successes? Improvement suggestions. Use talking pairs
• use different coloured pens
• make sure kids are focused on the success criteria, let them know you will be randomising the piece of work. 
• offer specific examples. 
• Author to choose what they are going to change in their writing.
