Building Positive Relationships

Our big idea for Term One is ‘Community’. We have been taking the time to get to know each other at the beginning of the year! We believe in building positive relationships so learners feel valued and happy at school. 

This learning has involved:

• Daily informal conversations between children, teachers and parents. 
• Children getting to know each other by collaborating to complete a range of team challenges, often with a group of children who are not their friends. 
• Children and teachers completing profiles and creating artworks which tell a story about their strengths and passions. 
• Children crafting a piece of writing e.g. Our class is lucky to have me because...
• Children and teachers sharing personal news through ‘What’s On Top’. 
• Children attending our overnight camp at Rangi Woods and participating in a range of individual and team challenges. 
• A range of other learning e.g. Fragments of Evidence Home Learning Task.
