This week was one of the busiest weeks that I have had since starting at Berkley.
Two nights this week I had First Aid Training from 3:15pm until 8pm. This meant that there was no time outside of school for me to do extra planning etc. I feel that in terms of preparation for Week 6 I am behind where I would like to be and that I am going to have to catchup throughout the week.
The school server was down for half of the weekend also meaning that I was unable to access my emails, Google Docs (planning) or update my blogs. These days we rely so much on technology and this event has reminded me that it is so important to always have a back up plan.
On Friday I was out of class for the first full day since starting the year. I found myself worrying about what my class were doing and how they were getting on all throughout the day. I tried my best to plan so that the reliever had a good outline and idea of what I had in mind for the students to do.
My Friday was spent up in Auckland at Takapuna Normal School for the PYP New Zealand Network Auckland Induction Day. This was a great insight into how the PYP works at different schools and gave me some helpful ideas and activities to use for the Units of Inquiry. It was really good to network with some other PYP teachers who were new to the curriculum as well and hear their thoughts.
I am looking forward to a very busy Week 6!
