Play in the Junior School
Questions we had:
These are the key questions to the junior team:How do you observe and make sense of that?
How does it look in inquiry
How do you train people up to be play leaders?
How does it operate in terms of changes in personnel?
Positive Education Presentations
We introduced the idea of Term 4 Positive Education presentations.
The purpose of these presentations is to:
Build expertise in particular areas of Positive Education
Teach and learn from each other
These presentations could be used for parent coffee mornings to keep the community informed.
Here is Nicola's revised 2019 presentation based on "Energy" Chapter in David Keane's book, "Deliberate Art of Success."
