Using our imaginations
                        (being creative)

                               

Oh dear! There are lots of sick animals at the vet's today. I hope the doctor and nurses can help them.

Goodness me Kingi! Look at all your dinosaur eggs that hatched! Watch out everyone.

I wonder what Robert is imagining? He has a shield and a wand. Who could he be?

         How do we practice sharing during our                                 Exploration time?

                                   

We decide on what we want to draw - a jungle-  then everyone has a different part to draw. We all contribute to the drawing.

When we use the robots we have to negotiate who will go first, what we will get the Constructa -Bot to do and if there is anything we find out that we can tell others about.

Our thinking about the Key Competency of                                   Managing Self. 

This is called a "Y" Chart because it shows three different ways we can think about something.

      What does Managing Self look like in our
                       Exploration time?

  It looks like sharing the play equipment and playing a role in the game.

It looks like choosing which things to use so we can all join in.  

  It looks like using glue, scissors and paint sensibly and respecting the classroom we are in.
