Children using the Purposeful Spaces for Learning

Today I was working in Ropu Mahuri so my photo of the day reflects this. I thought I would capture our children learning in their purposeful spaces. Here they are working on an art project for their Learning Journal covers. 

There were four different guardian groups operating in this space, each with their own unique learning activity, however the children had the opportunity to choose a physical space that suited the learning they were doing and what type of learner they are. Some chose an independent space in the cave and were so focused they were oblivious to me taking the picture, others chose a buddy space and the top photo shows two students collaborating on the one piece. 

These children are being supported to be agents of their own learning by getting to know themselves and the way they learn best. They enjoy having a sense of ownership of their learning and therefore are more fully engaged in the process. It is a joy to be part of.
