5️⃣Day Five: Interchangble days of the week - a daily-use display that stays relevant all year!

With flexible language options, this is a display you set up once — then use, revisit, and build confidence with across the year.

3️⃣Day 3: Values & NZ Curriculum Key Competencies Display Labels

A values display that stays relevant long after the first weeks of term! Rather than a one-off wall feature, this display is designed to remain in place and be revisited throughout the year. Labels can be referred to, rearranged, and drawn into everyday conversations — supporting shared language around values, identity, and the NZ Curric Key Comps.

Suitable for classrooms, foyers, and staff spaces, this is a display that quietly reinforces what matters, all year long.

2️⃣Day Two: Classroom job labels & display banners

A collaborative wall display that’s set up once, then used all year! Children trace their own hands and forearms to create a bright, eye-catching jobs display that grows with the class. Roles can be rotated easily, while the display itself stays in place — supporting responsibility, teamwork, and classroom ownership. Every classroom need a 'charger checker' and 'shoe sorter' 😅

*Includes a choice of bold display banners and a wide range of job labels, making it easy to adapt to your class routines and values.

1️⃣Day One: Maramataka & Gregorian Rotating Calendar Wall Display

A bright, flexible wall display that can be added to and adapted as the year unfolds. Update it to reflect the seasons, what's happening in the garden, significant signs, and annual events — without needing to replace the whole display. It makes comparing & contrasting the Maramataka (Māori lunar calendar) with the Gregorian (solar) calendar easy. It can be assembled and displayed as 2 separate calendars or combined and also includes a mini rotating hand-held version.

Perfect for classrooms that value rhythm, observation, and ongoing connection to the natural year.

Remember my big brain? Well, now I've got a big heart 🧠➕️🫀🟰 🥹

These are proving to be such great conversation starters for our young people about emotional regulation... about what's in their hearts & on their minds, and about balancing emotions with facts & common sense.

*I also made some mini versions to gift to our amazing Mana Ake Kaimahi, who does an incredible job supporting wellbeing at our school! 💗🫀

Now.... onto crocheting a friendly uterus for next year's period-talk evening ha ha 🤣🤩

🎊 Congratulations Hāwera Primary on your 150th Jubilee - what an amazing milestone!!

I hope your new visual pepeha is a beautiful reminder of your kura's history & its ongoing legacy within your community. This special mural incorporates Hāwera's:

🐦 Mascot (Kaha the Kēreru)
🪶 Values & house colours (the KAHA way)
🏆 School Motto
🏔 Their Maunga (from just the right angle!)
🛶 Their Waka, Moana & special coastline
⭐️ Puanga the star
🌿 Foliage that's significant to the area (woven into the nest that represents the growth of their learners from chick to fully fledged and confident learners!)

It was a pleasure bringing your ideas to life Hāwera - mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu ✨️

Might as well use the 6-7 craze to my advantage 😏

Might as well use the 6-7 craze to my advantage 😏 ...this was a bit too niche for some of the older adults at the traffic lights this morning, but the kids in cars really got on board!! 😂

I'm in the unique position of having been both full-time, permanent teaching staff for 10 years, and now as part-time, fixed-term Support Staff (in my current role as Family Support person)

Both roles have different challenges and rewards, but the main thing is that ALL THE PEOPLE in schools operate as a team to centre our learners and provide the best learning and environment.

We (in every role) need more support for our young people. Things are under-resourced and time-pressured AT EVERY LEVEL.

✅️ This FREE set has been refreshed from the OG 2019 version, and now contains 50 A3 print & go placards to choose from! These A3 sheets assemble to create extra-large A2-sized posters.

➡️ Also included in this blog post are 2 sets of social media tiles, designed to spark conversation amongst your school community with the prompts... "ask your child's teacher".

*Not much has changed in teacher work conditions since these were created in 2019, which further emphasises the need for change this time around. 🤯
