Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Karis, Samantha, Eric and Micah worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and discuss their options- even distributing the tasks.  At one point Karis and Samantha worked on the connected A-Z task while Micah and Eric worked on the collaborative game.  Karis showed some real leadership in this task Micah and Samantha showed curiosity while asking questions.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- coming up with questions for the learning coaches, the Connected challenge- writing an acrostic for the word connected and the Curious task of finger spelling their names in NZSL.  The logo challenge was a great example of their team work.  There was some great role modeling, strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!
