Developmental Mornings

This term, our developmental mornings are based on exploring the 8 Multiple Intelligences and our concept - Relationships. We complete 2 activities in each session and reflect on how well we think we were able to use each Intelligence. The Multiple Intelligences and our activities are:
Bodily/Kinaesthetic Intelligence - mime the jobs of people at our school
Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence - cut out letters to spell the name of an important person at our school
Visual/Spatial Intelligence - create a picture of your family
Musical/ Rhythmical Intelligence - create a song, rap or music to accompany our expectations
Interpersonal Intelligence - work as a team to build a home with the blocks for the teddy counters
Intrapersonal Intelligence - use playdough to make a modelof your best friend
Naturalist Intelligence - classify some natural things and say how they are connected
Mathematical/Logical Intelligence - connect pieces of mobilo or gears
