The Learning Plan - Circles

We will be spending a lot of time sitting in Circles this year.

This might seem simple enough but Circles are much more than a simple seating arrangement. 

Circles are a strategy we use to build our class culture,to develop a feeling of "being part of a team" and to ensure that all the children can be "at the front" during class discussions.

Today we played a co-operative game in a Circle.

The idea was to move Keto the Kea around the circle using only our legs. It was a little tricky and we really needed to work as team, pay attention and be ready for our turn, and think carefully about how we moved our legs.

We laughed a lot!
