In an empowering environment, children
have the agency to create and act on their own ideas, develop knowledge and skills in areas that interest them’ (Ministry of Education, 2017).
Here at Learning Links Hector Drive, we empower tamariki by encouraging and supporting them to contribute to a wide range of enriching learning opportunities. One of our favourite story in the over’s ruma is ‘The hungry caterpillar’ by Eric Carle. Today tamariki were busy at the playdough table recreating their thoughts and ideas of the story by making a playdough caterpillar. Tamariki were able to lead their learning by choosing resources that were available to complete their creativity and today, it was the harakeke! Concepts of Kotahitanga was also fostered as tamariki worked together to create ‘lots and lots of hungry caterpillars’ and sharing and taking turns with the tools and resources around to ensure everyone’s caterpillar was completed.
