More than just ordering books per term.
Can order books more than once a term.
Can find online resources on "Resources for Learning" - always useful to go to High Interest Topics.
AnyQuestions - website. Like a chat room. Librarians won't give them answers, but will help them find the information they want. Will teach them about how to research. Suggested to do this as a class demonstration.
EPIC - website. has links to educational websites for research. Most useful website: Britannica School Primary, has lots of info, can be printed, listened to, favourited, definitions can be given (without going onto another page). Images and video are available.
Digital NZ - can search for images that represent them
Papers Past - Whole range of papers that have not been publish. 1800's to 1940's
The above can all be found on the Services to Schools page on the National Library webpage.
Creating Readers tab is very useful as well. Not there to teach children to read, but give them opportunities to read.
Read Aloud brochures - available in many different languages - when talking to parents get them to help promote reading for fun with the children.
Also can use NRL magazines to get the reading culture across the school
There is a whole range of maths stories that are actual stories.
Can do meetings at the National Library and then get tour afterwards

Kids Power PD
3 Powers kids have all the time:
Brain Power
Body Power
Voice Power
Powers to teach:
Stay Aware - are children aware of what is going on? How can we make them more aware?
Stop Power - Legs balanced (one behind other), hands out, but arms bent "Please stop" and if not effective: "I said stop!" a bit louder/firmer
Move Away Power - move to safe place/person - Calmness helps adults to help you. "Excuse me, I need help."
Get Help Power (see above)
Rubbish Bin Power - For all the bad words we don't like having said to us.
Bullying is a constant, repetitive behaviour. Children at our ages (year 0-2) don't have a concept of what that is.
Non-verbal checkins - two thumbs up/down/ one up/down. Good way to check chd and see if there are major changes (e.g. two up to two down).
Incident charts - allowing teachers to share/see what has been going on. Some chd come back and behave poorly because of something that happened in the playground.
