CAOS: ( New Entrants only) - Ongoing throughout the year.

CAOS is a  framework used to help teachers understand the early development of children’s learning. Teachers complete informal assessment of functional skills, language skills, organisational skills, attention skills and social skills. This information is shared with parents at their child's Wellbeing meeting usually held about 5-6 weeks after starting school. The information gathered from this assessment allows staff to create learning opportunities to further develop identified next steps.

Informal Reporting.

Thursday Connect meetings

These are meetings generated by parent or teacher requests and are ongoing throughout the year every week as the need arises.

Seesaw

This is an online sharing platform, used to post highlights of current learning, and to access and work on learning activities. Seesaw creates another learning loop between students, teachers, and families as part of their learning journey. Parents and caregivers can log in to see and discuss with their children the learning that sits within this platform.

Google classroom

This is a platform that also supports learning and progress. Activities are posted which students are able to access before, during and after school hours. It fosters communication through feedback and collaboration and through joint activity work. It is another part of the learning loop between students, teachers and families. Predominantly used in Year 5/6 .

Kāinga Learning celebrations

Each Kāinga will hold Learning Celebration’s with its families. These feature learning that has been happening within its classes and are shared to parents and community. It is an opportunity to bring parents onboard, and for our learners to share their understanding and progress.

Learning Interventions

Interventions are provided for children who have been identified as priority learners in literacy and numeracy based on data gathered from assessments and teacher judgements. Parents are informed of their children's inclusion in any learning intervention and are informed of their progress through a Thursday after school meeting or an email sent to them by the class teachers.

IEPs:

For all ORS funded learners we hold IEP meetings 2x per year, April/May and October/November. These review and planning meetings involve the school teaching team- LA, Specialist teacher, Class teachers, Whānau and outside agencies such as MOE.

Child-led learning celebrations -Term 2 and 3.
