Last week I spent the week in Dunedin at Otago University, on a leadership course.
It was very interesting to be a learner instead of a teacher again. It made me remember how hard it is to listen to somebody talk for a long time! Especially for somebody like me who likes to talk!
I have included a picture of the team of other teachers who were there with me. They are a lovely team of people and I felt very lucky to get to know them all.
Most of them are primary teachers, apart from one who is a secondary school teacher and another one who is a principal (who also teaches).
I learned a lot and now I have assignments to complete. Yes children, I have homework to do!! I bet you love that :-)
Now that I am back at Leigh Marine, I am busy doing my homework but I am also coming up with an investigation I might be able to do on my own. So, I have a question, now I need to do a bit of research, come up with a hypothesis, and design an investigation....exciting!

Hi Mrs Bradshaw
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've been busy. We, in Puriri 1, have also been doing investigations. We have been investigating different things that plants need to live and grow.
We have learned some big words like hypothesis, explanation, prediction, procedure, results and conclusions. Ms Clarkson makes us explain why we made the prediction we did. Sometimes we just don't know and we then learn lots from doing our investigation.
We look forward to hearing more about your experiments.
