What does Managing Self look like when we are playing together?

The boys playing with the pirate stuff realised that they needed to keep their legs in so that there was a good space for things in the middle of the group.
If you want to make a structure with the noodles and skewers then you need a good space between you all.

               2018 Exploration time in                                         Tipuranga Team

Welcome to our team blog. We will post learning, thinking and working photos, comments and ideas as they happen throughout the year.
Our Inquiry learning is based on practicing and understanding the Key Competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum.
You will notice that each of our classrooms has a sub page as well. Look there for information, links and learning specific to each class. 

In these first few weeks we are practicing the Key Competencies of Managing Self and relating to Others.

The children using the pirate kit in Room 5 did a great job of  talking,co-operating, and sharing the 
equipment together.  

Room 17 working together and sharing ideas

  We have tried really hard to play together and say nice things.
