Friends helping friends!

Peer assessment is evident at KIDSPACE at the moment.  The children bring to KIDSPACE a wealth of skill and enjoy sharing it with their friends.  Over the last week one of the girls has been teaching her good friend how to perform a forward roll!  Step by step verbal instructions, a little scaffolding through demonstration and lots of practice (and giggling!) both girl's found success - one feeling proud she has taught her friend a new skill, the other feeling proud that she has mastered a new one. Ka mau te wehi! That is amazing!
