Plan-Do-Share

Each day we spend some time doing Child Initiated Independent Learning, or Plan-Do-Share. This time provides an opportunity for children to plan and develop their play and interests. We encourage children to explore, take risks, make decision solve problems and share their experiences with others. 

Plan

Each week, the things we can choose from change. We must choose our activity before we start and we cannot change. 

Do

Some of the things we can do at Plan-Do-Share time are:

Puppets or Role Play. 

We use puppets to tell stories. "I chose the puppets today because I love the puppets." Said Todd.

Play-Dough

We can use the play-dough. Sometimes we have a job to do with the play-dough. We had to make food to eat at breakfast, lunch or dinner. It was only pretend.

Writing Table

We can go to the Writing Table. "We can draw pictures." Said Kimiora-Dior. We can use the stencils." Said Brodie. 

Sometimes we have a craft to do. "We made sunshines by ripping the paper and sticking it on." Said Nathan. 

Review and Share

When we are finished and have packed up, we sit  behind the smiley faces. We have to think about how good we were at our Plan-Do-Share activity. Did we do the right thing? Did we work well with our classmates? Was it tricky? I do this often or sometimes. 

Holly sat behind 3 smiley faces today because "I was doing the computers and not making any noise."  

Jayden sat behind 2 smiley faces today because, "I was shouting in the sandpit.  I needed to come out of the sandpit. Next time I won't be noisy."

Nobody sat behind 1 smiley face today. 

Room 9 is good at Plan-Do -Share time. We make good choices and work well together. We are learning to take responsibility for our choices and behaviour.
