Our inquiry was about working well together. We learned and practiced some strategies for working together in groups, like participating, sharing, taking turns and listening to others.
We love Action Stations in Kauri. Action Stations are learning opportunities set up around the classroom during our literacy time. We can choose which ones to work at. We do a lot of thinking and talking about our learning at the stations, with questions like "How do I know I am learning?", "How did somebody else help me learn?" and "How can I get better at this?'.
One of the favourites this term was a construction activity using balls and sticks. At the beginning of the term the children were keen to make all sorts of individual creations like...
An umbrella!
Soon we began to discover we could make great creations by working together, listening to each other and helping. Then we had creations like castles, forts and swimming pools! Great working together Kauri Kids!
