Circle Time in 4th Class

1. We started Circle Time with our resource teacher. We have being doing this for four months.

2. We played many games like jailer, key’s game, the neighbour game, the lying game and many more.

3. Some of the Circle Time rules are - No name no blame, taking turns, circle manners.

Circle Time means ‘An Equal Voice For Everyone’ - we all love it.

Here are fourth class responses to Circle Time:-

Circle time is a great time, we did a sculpture down in the hall and we played tag in our sculpture. (A)

Circle Time is an important part of the curriculum and 4th Class have made great strides in learning how to work together with trust and commitment. While having fun with circle time games we also learn social skills of cooperation and collaboration. In our most recent circle time there was 100% participation in all the activities; while every child has the right to 'pass' it is great to see everyone gaining the confidence to participate.

Well done 4th Class!
