Distance Teaching and Learning Online

Convid-19 came thick and fast at the start of week 8 of Term 1. While as a team, we were preparing for learning and teaching online, no one could predict just how fast it came about.

Luckily for us, we were up and running with our first  google meet with our literacy class at 9.30am on Tuesday 24th March. From here, we've kept in regular contact with both our literacy and numeracy students tuning in twice a day to go through learning set for them and to answer any questions they may have.

As well as this, our Team Leader Andrea Tele'a has also kept our normal daily notices with videos giving the latest updates as given on the news as well as those shared by management regarding moving the holidays forward and this being the official last week of Term 1.

The most exciting part this week was taking part in our school assembly today which was streamed live for our students. This ran through our normal assembly program of Karakia, national anthem, Duffy certificates and even sports news! Feedback from my class later on during the was incredible. They were buzzing out about assembly and really enjoyed teachers coming together online for this.

Overall, quite proud of all that we've achieved this week, the connections we've made and the learning that took place. In such unprecedented times, well done PES!
