Ruby Community

This term in Ruby Community we have been investigating the topic ‘Relationships and Belonging’ for Inquiry. The students began by looking into and comparing their own relationships including family and friends and they moved down the path of belonging. The students defined the term belonging and we discovered how many students wanted to feel like they had a group to belong to. Through all of the learning and discoveries the students have created ‘clubs’ in Ruby and each week students have an opportunity to spend time in their chosen group to build relationships through learning about and engaging in their clubs activity. The groups created by the students were Soccer, Art, Dancing, Dinosaur, Gymnastics and Sensory and the students have enjoyed spending time with other students in Ruby who share the same interests and passions. The students will continue their learning and investigating into their clubs for a few more weeks and then will present their learning to the rest of the community. All of us in Ruby are very excited to see what the students learn and how they reflect on the relationships they build with the other members of their groups.
