During Term 3, we have met as a habitat on Monday afternoons to share our learning and discuss life in our habitat. Each week, new learners have been responsible for presenting the Hui and helping to organise the content.
Vrishti saw a need to have an overarching agenda that could be adapted each week and used to help the presenters run things. She helped to design the layout and organises the learners each week so they know when they are presenting. This responsibility has been good for her and provides an opportunity for her to grow her leadership potential.

Vrishti is encouraged to continue with her planning our Habitat Hui. She should ask learners and coaches what things they would like included in the Hui. Things may take a permanent slot each week such as NZSL while other may change, like an upcoming event.

Learning Area: Collaborative Games Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed
| |||||||||
At the start of Term 3, we embarked on a journey of collaboration. All the learners were put into groups that were mixed age, ability and gender. It was a time for learners to get to know each other and develop their ability to collaborate with each other outside of the habitat in a variety of games and activities.
Vrishti participated effectively in the activities, demonstrated persistence and was a good team player. One of the challenges involved guiding a blindfolded team-mate over, under, around and through a course. This required a high level of patience and strategy. Vrishti and her group experienced difficulties but worked together as a team to overcome them and were ultimately successful in the task. They learned about the importance of sticking together in order to reach your goals.

The challenges that Vrishti faced provided opportunity to practice existing skills and learn new ones. A worthwhile challenge would be for Vrishti to apply her collaborative learning to other areas of the curriculum when she will continue to work with a wide variety of other learners.
