Friendship Skill: Co-operation

Co-operation is an important skill in friendship but what does that word mean?

"To help!" - Simone
"To care!" - Rocco

This is the last week of inquiry for this unit and to celebrate the Fire Group is planning a party to celebrate friendship! Sofia had lots to say about party's since she's just had a birthday party. We made a list of the things we'd need
cake
decorations
balloons
music
dancing

To plan and organize a party takes a lot of co-operation! Who will come to the party? Well ... the Fire Group of course! We made a friendship chain with everyone's name to show who is invited to the party. Sofia suggested we invite her brother and the other's agreed that everyone should be invited to the party. The worked hard with each other to continue the chain with everyone's name taking great care that no one was left out....peeking in at the other groups to check who's there.

Afterwards an announcement was made that a Friendship Party will be held tomorrow and everyone's invited. The children all came to find their name on the friendship chain and were thrilled at being included!

  2. Thanks Stephanie! Next week is the Summative Week where the kids will do assessment activities that will show their understanding of the unit's central idea and lines of inquiry!
