\"\"Golden time took on a new spin this week for Years 2-6 with choices of activities on offer for the children to participate in.\u00a0 Some children were drawn to a game of dodgeball, others to a game of Twister.\u00a0 Others opted for construction play or colouring\/drawing, while a group chose to have playground time and happily played on the swings together.\u00a0 The emphasis was on children making their own choices on what they were interested in doing.\u00a0 It was fascinating to observe the choices that different age groups made and how they all mixed and played together.\u00a0 As the weeks go on, I’m sure the children will start to develop more ideas and take on more ownership of what they would like to explore during their Fun Friday session, with teachers helping to facilitate this.\u00a0 It certainly was a ‘Fun Friday’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Golden time is a 20 minute free-choice time, that Years 1-6 engage at the end of a hard week of learning.\u00a0 Not that all of the above activities don’t still involving learning… far from it.\u00a0 All activities allow the children opportunities to practise and master physical and fine motor skills, and practise problem solving, communication and negotiation skills as they play together with friends and other children of different ages.<\/p>\n
