Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning, New Zealand

Miss Neumann has taught students from very diverse cultural backgrounds, including New Zealand’s Indigenous Māori population.
I believe that teaching extends beyond academics. As a teacher, it is important to guide my students to become well-rounded individuals who are empathetic, determined, resilient and respectful. Building social harmony is an ongoing goal, because it positions children well for learning, but moreover reinforces good citizenship.
What I love the most about teaching here is the sense of community present within the school. Someone, whether it be a staff member or student, is always willing to lend a helping hand when needed.
English Language: We complete 3 class novel studies and students create a juicy “Book Burger” book report on a novel of their choice.
Math: We drill our multiplication facts to help us solve difficult multiplication and division problems. We also learn how to use a protractor to measure angles.
Science: We investigate the 6 different kinds of simple machines and focus our learning on pulleys. Then, we build pulleys in small groups and see what we can lift around our classroom.
Social Studies: We study many different Ancient Civilizations throughout the year, including the Medieval Times. We further our study of MedievalTimes with a field trip to Medieval Times Toronto closer to the end of the school year.
Art: We create many pieces of art throughout the year focusing on colour and space.
