Learning and Teaching

Te kaha me te wairua. Energy flows where attention goes.
How right, everything has
energy and when you are focused on what you are doing then it is all possible.
Theme : "Changing the
script": Rethinking learners' and teachers' roles
1. Description: Reflecting on the last 16 weeks in terms of
personalising learn, children being able to engage in technology ig: using a
sewing machine and becoming familiar with the running of a machine and its
importance in the production of their own clothes as well as making bags for
grocery shopping so we need not use plastic bags, our focus also to look after
Papatūānuku.
2. Feeling: At the time I thought day one, how will this
work, there was so much learning to do before we could proceed to making a bag,
sewing straight lines, using the reverse button on the machine, how the thread
the machine and how to refill the bobbin and place in correctly in its case. Some days it was very frustrating as the
children all seemed to need your attention at the same time. Others took to sewing like they had done it
quite often.
3. Evaluation: The experience has made me think about how
better this can be taught, which we are now working on this term. The bad part about the whole experience was
the children not having conquered the art of threading a machine and nor did
they seem to hear the change in the sound of the machine if it was not sewing
properly.
4. Analysis: We have gone back to the drawing board, sewing
straight lines and revisiting how the machine functions and identifying the different
sound a machine makes when not threaded correctly. On a positive note, children seem to be a
lot more relaxed this term as they have become more relaxed and confident with
the sewing machines. Also having step by
step photos of the procedures for making brush bag has been welcomed by the
children. We are working with our
kohanga to sew a brush bag for each child so the kohanga need no longer use
plastic bags to store each child’s hair brush
5. Action Plan: I have learnt that the children are much more
motive when the instruction are clear.
The visual processes has made them more enthusiastic and motivated to
complete steps without having to ask the teacher. The children are visual and hands on
learners. The students that have grasped
the art of sewing faster than other students have been very supportive. The children work collaboratively, I will
continue to support a nurturing collaborative style of teaching and
learning. Students should have a voice. I would like to see parents have a more
active role in our technology arena.
