** Teaching as Inquiry **
I inquired into the impact of my teaching on the students in my class and continually adapted accordingly to meet their individual needs. I noted what was important and spending time on in relation to the Inquiry on Turangawaewae and Recycling, determining what the children already knew and where to next? I used best practise to help them achieve their learning, providing opportunities for them to do so and providing guidance where needed. Together with the children we assessed their progress towards their understanding of what they had learnt about Recycling, what they wanted to learn and where to next? I also self assessed my teaching in relation as to how I was providing opportunities for each child to learn about Recycling and considered what I needed to do to ensure that each student individually and as a group learnt to the best of their ability.

** Encouraging reflective thought and action **
I guided the children so that they were able to stand back and reflect upon what they could do in relation to understanding and discussing what they knew about Recycling. Also what they wanted to do and what they needed to do next to help achieve their understanding.Discussing it together they were able to translate thought into action. I was also able to see what I needed to do to help each child understand the concepts about Recycling and answer the Essential question, which was ,”Why and How do we recycle.”
