Hi all, A reminder of our last Tauranga MOTE cluster gathering for 2014 to be held at Winderemere on Thursday 27th November at 4:30 for a 5pm start. Viv will be attending and the topic will be mistakes and cautionary tales. Let’s make the most of Vivs expertise before she moves on to the lovely […]
Excited to report that thanks to the energies of colleagues in Auckland, there will be a cluster meeting in the city of sails later this month. Here are the details. Please get along if you can – we’ve been dying to get a group off its feet in Auckland! What: Mantle of the Expert Aotearoa […]

Here’s a very happy pic taken at last night’s Tauranga cluster meeting. We spent time exploring new conventions for building belief, based on a fun game of Astronauts…. there were flight simulators, astroid belts, doors that went ‘swoosh’ and even lucky tokens….

There are few places still available for this workshop facilitated by Christine Hatton, from University of Newcastle. Christine (who is fabulous) will share a unit of work exploring Shaun Tan’s “The Red Tree” through process drama – suitable for senior primary, intermediate or junior secondary levels. Great PD for those who want to enhance their […]
A reminder that the Tauranga MOTE cluster group will gather at Windermere in the Maharaia Room on Thursday 21st August. Viv will run a session on building belief phase of Mantle/process drama. This is a session she ran successfully at the Hamilton cluster group gathering. We look forward to seeing you all there. Stephen
