WEEK 1 NEWSLETTER
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
OUR VISION: TOGETHER WE NURTURE, EXPLORE AND CREATE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
We are enjoying a great start back at DPS! I always love the first days of a
term…children running in, keen to reconnect with teachers and their mates…the
sounds of laughter in the playground, and the creativity being unleashed in the
classrooms. I’m looking forward to the mihi whakatau tomorrow…welcoming our new
whānau, students and staff into the school.
INTERESTING ARTICLE
This article popped into my Twitter feed the other day…a good (short) read about
the science around how children learn to persevere. In particular…it was the
idea that what we do as adults has a big impact on how children acquire this
type of resilience.
The article features cognitive scientist Julia Leonard, who explores how
children learn persistence and effort by observing adults. Her research suggests
that when adults step in and complete tasks for children, it reduces their
persistence. Instead, allowing children to struggle and praising effort can
enhance their motivation. Economic and social factors also influence
motivation.
To sum up…
For parents:
* Encourage children by praising effort, not just results.
* Allow children to solve problems independently…don’t leap in to help right
away, and let children experience struggle
For teachers:
* Focus on intrinsic motivation over ‘grades’ (we don’t really do grades
here…but this could be taken as test scores, or marked work)
* Let students persist through challenges without taking over tasks.
These points line up well with some of our decisions here at school where we try
to put the ownership for learning onto the children. Think about the children in
their Play or Maker times…they largely choose what they would like to do, and
often work through things that ‘didn’t go right’. Our maths programme is based
around the idea of providing a challenge, and empowering the children to work
through it, and work with each other through it. The current changes in
education are wanting a shift to more teacher-led instruction…and we do that
well here also. We get great academic results, our structured literacy program
is making a difference…and even in things like the Play and Maths…teachers are
explicitly teaching the skills children need in order to progress.
Some might frame it as a choice…do we want to develop ‘learners’ who are able to
push through challenges, or do we want to develop children who ‘know stuff’? The
answer is…we want both, and learning should be designed to develop both, and I’m
proud that as a school we have that mentality.
TERM 4 - A BUSY TIME AND A GOOD TIME
Term 4 promises to be a great one for the children, they have lots of
opportunities both inside and outside the school this term…summer sports, class
trips, Tararua Challenge exchange, Disco (tonight!), photos, athletics,
Grandparents Day, Beach Ed, visiting MIS…and lots more!
HERO is our prime form of communication…some reminders go onto our Facebook
page, but EVERYTHING is on HERO. On the app (or on the web) the ‘Community Feed’
is the place where the info goes…and at the top is a search bar. Search the name
of the trip, the sport, the event…and the details will show!
REMINDER: TEACHER ONLY DAY FRIDAY 25TH OCTOBER
We are having a Teacher Only Day next week, Friday 25th October…so the school is
closed for the day. Most of the local primary schools are also closing that day.
Teachers have some online mahi to do around the new English and Maths
Curriculums that are to be in place next year. There are webinars to introduce
each area, and staff will be looking into what the new documents are like
compared with our own progressions of learning we currently have. We will also
be completing a webinar looking at the ‘Science of Learning’ as described by Dr
Nina Hood from the Education Hub, and contrasting that with work by Professor
Guy Claxton from the UK.
These current changes are pretty massive, and as I’ve written about before…we
want to take the good from them, but without giving up the things that make this
school a special place. This means we need to have a deep understanding of the
new curriculum, and the expectations in there, so we can weave these
expectations into the great teaching that happens in classrooms daily at
school.
OUT OF ZONE APPLICATIONS - FOR TERMS 1 & 2 2025
Just a reminder…applications close this Friday (tomorrow). If you have a child
turning 5 next year, and live out of zone…reach out to the office. Even if a
sibling already attends DPS…you still need to do the paperwork! Feel free to
pass the message on to whānau and friends that don’t attend DPS, but spaces are
pretty limited.
