Personally I really enjoyed all 3 of the sessions engaging with the learners. I was initially nervous pre-AHS visit but this anxiety quickly dissipated when I recognised a third of the faces and engaged right from the start. Both sessions at AHS I engaged with learners sho I had not worked with before and was excited by their excitement about the building and their passions leading their learning.
I was really disappointed with the turn-out at Aranui Primary School. A lot of the Äkonga are struggling with change and anxious about the new. It was a low-key visit made worse by some late arrivals and a small number.
A pity not so many turned up at APS, although there might have been some crossed wires- as it was suggested by a few earlier in the week that it would be too imposing if everyone turned up. Glad you enjoyed the visits and any anxiety about AHS dissipated so quickly :-)
