Growing Social Competence at Central Kids Rotorua East

We had a big job at Central Kids Rotorua East Kindergarten, to remove our grapevine.

There was no shortage of willing helpers who had the opportunity to use real tools for real work.  A sense of achievement can be gained when taking part in mahi that is genuine.  Tamariki also practiced waiting for a turn, being aware of those around them, health and safety for themselves and others.

This learning is based around growing social competence – waiting can be really hard sometimes.  Working together toward a common goal using strength, determination and communication.
