Learn Create Share Model

By
Learn Create Share Model Link : Please make a copy and share
Learn create share is a teaching methodology that encourages students to actively engage in the learning process by creating and sharing their own projects and ideas. 
It is a student-centered approach that emphasises hands-on learning, collaboration, and creativity. The idea behind this approach is that when students are given the freedom to explore topics that interest them and are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, they are more likely to be motivated and engaged in the process.

The Learn create share model typically involves three main steps:
Learn: In this step, students are introduced to a new concept or topic. They might watch a video, read a text, or listen to a lesson to gain a basic understanding of the topic.
I have some key words to help the students out when starting their inquiry: I see, I think, I wonder, I explore, I investigate and I gather.  
Create: In this step, students are given the opportunity to apply what they have learned by creating something related to the topic. I will give my students freedom to choose how they want to create from what they have learned. This could be a project, a model, art, or anything else that allows them to demonstrate their understanding.
Share: In this step, students share their creations with others, whether it's their classmates, their teacher, or a wider audience. Sharing their work allows them to receive feedback, refine their ideas, and learn from others.

Overall, the Learn create share model encourages students to become active participants in their own learning and to develop critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.

I have created a model I want to try out with my Year 1 students. One of our focusses since last year is Student Agency and how we are educators can give our students the best opportunities to learn. This term I will work from this model so that my students can get use to the look and how to use it. Term 3 I will give them the opportunity to access this model and find their learning on the model. I created QR codes as a great tool to providing students with access to additional resources and information related to the topic they are studying. For example, I created QR codes that links to my slides that I will be using during my floatation lessons. QR codes will be used for videos, interactive activities, or websites that provide more information or examples related to the topic we will study. By scanning the QR codes, students can explore these resources independently and at their own pace, which can help them develop self-directed learning skills. Additionally, QR codes can link to instructions or tutorials for specific activities or projects, which can help students work independently and develop their creativity and problem-solving skills.

I am excited to start this with my students this week during our Science topic.

Can't wait to share my students' learning with you!!

The Syntax Project - NZ version that aligns with our curriculum

By
I found this on Facebook this morning. I am so excited to share this amazing resource with teachers  This was the message by Sarah Peck on the Primary teachers page: Kia ora koutou, not sure how many of you use the Syntax Project for a sentence-level writing resource but here is the scope and sequence with NZ Year level equivalents added. All of the slideshow resources that support the scope and sequence can be found at https://ochre.org.au/ac/the-grammar-project/. You will need to register for (free) access. The materials are designed for NZ Year 0 (NE) to Year 7, however I think if you have older struggling learners that still need sentence level writing teaching, learning, review and practice then you'd potentially still get a lot out of what's on offer. The Syntax Project work has been developed by Australian teachers, for teachers, and is underpinned by work from The Writing Revolution, and the Morphology Project references William Van Cleave's work. Here is the link: ...

Impressive Writing Growth with The Syntax Project

By
I’ve seen remarkable progress in my students’ writing skills since introducing The Syntax Project . This free, accessible platform, grounded in the concept of colourful semantics, has been a game-changer for our young learners. What is Colourful Semantics? Colourful semantics is a method that breaks sentences down into parts, each represented by a different colour. For instance, the "Who" (subject) could be one colour, while "What doing" (the verb) is another. This visual approach makes sentence building more straightforward and fun for children, helping them better understand sentence structure. It’s especially useful for younger students as they get to grips with the basics of grammar and sentence creation. My Approach to Using the Syntax Project I began using the Syntax Project by focusing on oral exercises. Students first talk through sentences, identifying key parts like who is doing what, and where it’s happening. This has laid a strong foundation for understa...

Helping Our Tamariki with b/d Confusion: Strategies That Work

By
As part of my ongoing teaching inquiry into how we support early literacy—especially for those tamariki who need a bit more time—I came across this really helpful article from All About Learning Press that offers clear, simple strategies to help children who confuse b and d. Let’s be honest—this is super common and very normal for our 5- and 6-year-olds. But for some, it sticks around longer and can start to impact confidence, writing fluency, and reading accuracy. What’s in the Article? The blog post outlines: Why letter reversals are a developmental stage, not a sign of dyslexia on their own. Fun, hands-on strategies to help children lock in correct b/d formation. Practical tools that both ECE and NE teachers can easily integrate into their day. One of my favourites from the list is the “bed” trick—using both hands to form the shape of a bed (with thumbs up) to remind kids that b comes before d. It's kinaesthetic, memorable, and easy to teach. Another great one is using visual m...
