These games promoted detailed discussions about: how we convey emotions, how we demonstrate good friendship skills, and whether good manners were conveyed in different scenarios. All of these games have supported our school code of conduct, 'RESPECT'.
Oh, and we had some fun at the same time! :-)
The day concluded with a fabulous collaboration of musical representation of a tradition fairy tale. The students created a unique graphic score for Goldilocks and The Three Bears. This wonderful learning has been shared on Room 8's blog.
When you visit Room 8's blog, you will also see the sharing of our student representatives for the Ako Hiko Student Led Toolkits - Way to go Waikowhai Students! We are proud of you.
Hi there, my name is Kalana and I am a student in room 8 at Waikowhai Primary School. I really like that you had FUN at the same time as your learning.The pictures made me think of the game “Snakes And Ladders”.Have you thought of typing the names of the games Room 8 played. If you would like to see my learning, my blog is http://wpskalanal.blogspot.co.nz/
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. What kinds of games were they playing to stimulate social skills? How have the children implemented this since playing?
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to the page: https://www.smartkids.co.nz/collections/games-social-emotional-skills/products/pshe-board-games-smart-buy?variant=6122500869 They are a 'Smart Kids' Emotions resource set. Very good for general use in the classroom, but I also find them useful to support restorative justice when students need to self reflect.
