Boxing star Joseph Parker, who grew up in Mangere, is putting his (heavy)weight behind the work of the Middlemore Foundation.
Joseph has signed on as an Ambassador for the Foundation, which partners with communities to raise funds to initiate and support key projects in health, homes and education within Counties Manukau.
Joseph’s first ambassadorial duties included visits to Edmund Hillary School and Red Hill Primary School, both in Papakura, where the kids chatted excitedly with their ‘local hero’ about his boxing career and asked him about his time growing up in their neighbourhood. Joseph’s effortless rapport with the kids is evident in videos of the school visits.
Considering using fairy tales in early childhood education, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Retelling a familiar tale can help a child practise sequencing and understand different viewpoints. It makes me curious about the practical side of fairy tale learning activities. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. What changes when children are invited to invent their own ending?
What interests me about understanding educational opportunities abroad is how a broad idea becomes part of an ordinary day. Comparing study options involves daily life and support as well as course descriptions. It makes me curious about the practical side of international education opportunities. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. What would you want to know before choosing an unfamiliar learning environment?
A conversation about choosing learning resources for different needs seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. The same explanation can feel clear to one learner and confusing to another. That is the kind of detail I would keep in mind while exploring educational learning resources. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What clues help you choose a resource that matches a learner's starting point?
I find using clear language to explain complex ideas easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A concrete example often makes an abstract explanation easier to follow. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about clear communication skills. I can imagine different answers depending on the situation, so I would want to understand the context before drawing conclusions. How do you decide when technical terminology helps and when it gets in the way?
When it comes to understanding building energy certificates, I would rather understand one useful detail properly than rush through a long list of ideas. Knowing what a certificate describes can help a reader ask more precise questions about a building. Seen this way, building energy certificates becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. Which parts of an energy certificate are hardest for a first-time reader to interpret?
