Kia Ora Parents and Whānau
This year at Hukanui we would like to introduce Blogging as a great tool
for students to communicate and share their learning with their whānau and the
world.
Each class will have a blog, which will be linked to their class webpage.
We envisage that these blogs will be updated regularly with snapshots of
learning. It is important to note that some of the work that goes on the blog
will not be the finished product but that you will also see the ‘work in
progress’.
There is nothing more powerful than the students receiving positive
feedback on their work by their peers, parents or whanāu so I invite you to
check out what has been posted from time to time, and maybe post comments
yourself. This is a great opportunity for us as adults within the Hukanui
community to role model being positive digital citizens.
In order for your child to participate in this they will need to have their
internet agreement signed. For most students this has already been done however
if this has not, your child’s classroom teacher will send one home sometime in
the first few weeks of this term.
If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to talk to your
child’s classroom teacher or alternatively you can also contact me. I am really
excited about blogging this year and the benefits it will have on the students
learning.
Kia ora and kind regards
Mike Fitness
