We have been focussing more on skills that the children are developing through play, ones which are at the heart of The Moray Skills Pathway, for children aged 3-18: Our first sway is based on the self-management skills our children have been displaying during play activities.

T and R teamed up to design a Christmas Tree out of Sticklebricks.J was very proud of the obstacle course that he had made and coached the boys as they tried it for the first time.G had used this game, of decorating the tree, a couple of times. On this occasion she was particularly pleased with the effect of grouping the same type of decorations together. I thought it was very creative. Others thought the same, and copied her idea.
E got the balances out and put some dinosaurs into one bucket. She added a small animal to the other side and nothing happened. When it was explained how the balances worked she quickly grasped the idea. She was determined to find objects herself, to balance out the weight of the first bucket.`
The children certainly have had plenty of experience in developing Teamwork Skills, during their free choice of play activities. They enjoy mixing together and there have been lots of occasions when we have seen groups and, sometimes, unlikely partnerships, really flourishing. Shared interests have encouraged friendships and tolerance. The children like helping each other, being together and having fun. What a lovely group they are to be with.
Here is the second sway, featuring some of the Teamwork spirit we have seen.
G and G created an obstacle course together. A lot of the other children enjoyed completing the course.AJ, J and J built the ramp with A. They had tried different designs during other play sessions and this was their new one, where they tried to run the cars off the bottom of the slope and into a box. It proved one of their favourite ramps.
A and C have caught the reading bug and talked about creating a game with the word cards. First, they read the cards together. This picture shows A telling C how that card should be sounded out.
