Participants are now sharing ideas and things we've done in our own classrooms - kawakawa and rongoa; maramataka; waka etc #SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
In the future Chloe says she's let children choose between an infographic and a poem rather than both - but depends on the time you want for students to spend on these
#SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
Communicating the learning - with poetry and infographics - Chloe says she was blown away by the language within the students work after a week immersed in the topic

AND give your students the time and space to make mistakes or to change their methods when planting their seeds. Planting kōwhai seeds | Whakatōngia kākano kōwhai - bit.ly/3WMeWW4 #SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
You'll be surprised at all the learning involved in collecting seeds - give your students time to explore

When you truely observe and look closely you 'see' what is there not what you think or want to be there
Be explicit in teaching the skills around observation

The SLH has some valuable webinars that look into mātauranga and understanding the complexities - e.g bit.ly/2ykmwv7
#SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
Talking about some of the important ideas around mātauranga - for example it's not just historic, it is now and into the future #SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
Inviting students to imagine pre-colonial Aotearoa and thinking how data would have been gathered and how it would have been passed on - a strong way to open minds to different knowledge systems #SLH_webinar #SLH_PLD
