Student Learning

Grades 1 & 2

Grade 2 does mindfulness every day in different ways to build our toolkit of things we can do when we need to reset our minds.

In Positive Education, the Grade 1 and 2 students have been learning about being part of a TEAM. Students were divided into groups, with each member given a specific role: Leader, Timekeeper, Materials and Reporter. They were set the challenge of building the tallest freestanding tower they could using no more than 50 unifix blocks. Students needed to think about their role in the team as well as working together to problem solve. This involved lots of trial and error, with groups figuring out that they would need a stable base to build their tower. 

What do you think makes a good team member?
