All by myself!

Teacher Liz, 31 August 2018

Mays, you are growing your independ-
ence and self care skills.
You were determined to zip your jacket
up on your own. You didn't even want
me to clip it in to start with. You cer-
tainly were determined that you could
do it!
After a few tries you decided that I
could help you to start it, then again
you told me that you wanted to do it on
your own. You had quite a few tries own
your own. Made it clear that you didn't
want my help yet,
but you were willing
to accept help from
an older peer. Your
friend was a great help
to you, she was patient
and didn't take over
from you. Mays, you
were happy to have help
to hold your jacket
taught so that you were
able to zip it up. All by
yourself! You had set
yourself a goal and de-
termined you were able to achieve it and
you were so proud of your self when you
were able zip your own jacket.

Mays, I will continue allow time & opportu-

nities for you to take re-
sponsibility for your own
care. Next would you like
to try putting own your
own shoes and socks? Or even help-
ing other children just like
Jawaher helped you. When an older
peer teaches a younger peer its
called tuakana teina.
