Getting stuck into play!

 On Friday last week, Scott's writing group learnt how to make 8 page books! Scott's group were very proud to become authors of books and to show off the writing skills that they have been working on.

Many other children in Tautoru and Autahi saw Scott's writing group's Love of Learning and wanted to make their own books too! Many children explored being a writer through play in Golden Time, Kids Led Learning and during our quiet time after lunch.



Other children have been working on so many different character strengths, social skills, math skills and literacy skills in their play during Kids Led Learning and Golden Time.

A group found the lily pads and started building tall towers. We could hear loud giggles as the tower toppled over and then thoughts of making patterns, counting and skip counting the lily pads to work out how tall the tower were starting to pop up. Here, the students were working on their math skills, social skills and many character strengths such as teamwork, resilience and optimism - among many other things!

The beyblade lovers once again, got out their beyblades and stadiums. Here, children are working on turn-taking, resilience when their beyblade doesn't win, how to cheer on our buddies when they might be feeling a little disappointed and being connected with others.
