Transition to School by Jill Skkjottrup
Links between Te Whaariki and NZ curriculum
Constructivism
Social and cultural experiences, children develop their knowledge through experiences
Importance of relationships
Relationship with the teacher, whanau, peers
Knowing the child and getting to know the family
Emotional security between a teacher and the children affects how the children play
A sense of belonging
How do we know that the child is the heart of the matter?
P42 NZ curriculum - intended link between the curriculum and Te Whaariki
Linking to Level 1
This is why we are doing it, we know that there is a smooth link between the two curriculums.
Are you a ready school?
Find out about the learner
What the learner brings to the environment
Environment as the 3rd teacher
The child is the first teacher, being creative, experimenting
Being ready for the child
Sheets, ropes, and pegs
Piaget theory- developmental stages
Natural resources
Foster imagination
Three Ps
Play, Pocket, Planet
Do they connect to nature in the environment?
It is the process that is important not the product
Do children have access to the equipment?
Outside environment
Woodwork table, water trough on the deck
How often do you allow your children outside?
What are the barriers at your school and how can you overcome them?
Why do some students find transitions so difficult?
