"Being the Teacher"

Last term I noticed the children role playing a 'Teacher' on my chair and with the giant pointy finger, reading books to each other or giving instructions....  I thought why not give every child the opportunity to be a 'Teacher' and lead and question while building their confidence in speaking to an audience.

So now every morning after Karakia and roll we work out how many children are present, the day, date and weather. A simple routine which I pick a child's name out of the kete to teach.  They have the option to pass and pick a friend but most give it a go and do a great job!
