This week was the first Te Wā Mahi Tahi that we have had inside all year! Te Wā Mahi Tahi is our designated time for tamariki to explore learning through the context of play. We put out a range of materials for students to gather, transport, construct, order and create with!
Our Tamariki loved being creative within the walls of the classroom, and our next rainy Monday definitely won't get us down! Students enjoyed using the creation table, building houses, marble runs across the classroom and testing the distance that our toy cars can travel!
Through Te Wā Mahi Tahi students can explore their creativity, build their Leadership, Teamwork and problem solving skills. Each week we open our Te Wā Mahi Tahi sessions with a focus for the students to consider throughout the lesson, which extends their experience of the play and builds on their relationships with their peers. This week's focus was When am I at my best? Tamariki considered when they feel happiest in the classroom, and how we can bring these feelings to other areas of their learning. Here are some of the areas students said that they felt their best.
