Relating to others

Relating to Others

One of the Key Competencies in the NZ curriculum is Relating to Others. This can be in a social sense but also includes relating to their classmates appropriately during learning. In Room 6 we have found that Google apps has been very helpful in giving children the opportunity to collaborate on documents in real time, with each child on their own device. Children have been discussing how to make a document or presentation with their collaborators and deciding who does what on a particular project. This is great experience in real life collaborating and relating to others on a more professional or formal level. Problems need to be resolved, including conflicts between collaborators.

 

Library Time Room 6

 Room 6 - Library

Room 6 has its library time on Tuesdays from 11:45-12:30. As you can see there are lots of different choices made by students as to what they do at the library. The only condition is that it must involve books and children must read their own book for at least some of the time while they are there.

Room 6 Assembly

 Assembly

Room 6 was on assembly duty again a couple of weeks ago and a number of children got the chance to read in front of the school. This is always a great opportunity for children to get experience of talking in front of an audience and gain in confidence as a result. Unfortunately, in his excitement, Mr Bach forgot to take any photos, so I have included a few snaps of Room 14's wonderful performance that was part of their assembly a while ago.
