Fair play

Child/ Hine: Asiya. Teacher/ Kaiako: Jane. Date: 22 November/ Whiringa-ā-rangi 2019

Waiting for your kai with your friend

Rasna. You are a caring friend to many
tamariki. You are happy playing and
learning with younger or older children,
with boys or girls, and with children from
any country in the world! 7 Nov 19

You and Omar were playing

together in the sandpit. Omar
doesn’t speak many words yet, but
you were talking to him. Next
minute….Uh oh, that brother of
yours threw sand and some landed
on Omar. You knew that wasn’t good manners. You looked at T Maryam and said: He’s not
saying sorry. T Maryam suggested you ask Abdulrahman to apologise to Omar. You stood up
and confronted that big 4 year old brother of yours. You pointed at Omar and said:
Abdulrahman you're not saying sorry to Omar. You repeated your good advice and you
followed Abdulrahman around the boundary of the sandpit as he made his getaway on the
pink bike. Thank you, Asiya, for modelling good manners for you brother. And what a defender
of the rights of someone who can’t speak for himself! 12 Nov 19

Hmm, Asiya is very curious about the new tool kit for the tamariki to build with! It’s shiny and
new and lots of children have gathered around to play. You propped yourself up on the couch
so you could check things out. Next you joined the group by sitting down between 2 boys. It
takes confidence to do that. Then you made room for Abdulrahman to join the circle, too. 12

What learning has occurred:

Your learning pathway for T4 is about ways to contribute to groups and group learning as you
play and learn. Your social skills are developing and you have learnt to take responsibility for
fairness in interactions. You have learned respect for others and you can accept another point
of view. You demonstrate ease of interaction with all our tamariki irrespective of gender and
ethnic group. You are a confident and curious learner. You are learning different ways to be a
friend.

Next Steps…
We give you opportunity for social problem solving through games, physical activity,
cooperative and imaginative play. We will foster your sense of empathy through stories about
other people.
