Circle+Time

Circle Time Circle time can be targeted at any age group across the school. Activities and resources chosen for circle time would have to be age appropriate. Circle time can be used in any classroom across the school. Circle time is used to bring a group of students together to share ideas, develop communication skills, to raise an issue of concern, to discuss classroom matters, to read a text and to learn and see how different ways of learning can occur. Circle time can go for 5 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the topic of the circle time and the age of the students. Positives: - Students can collaborate together - Student orientated - Engages all students - Teacher can have input but allows students to take control - Brings the whole class together - Involves all students Negatives: - Students may not want to share information with others - Students may be uncomfortable discussing certain topics - Anything can happen - No set structure Circle time can be used for anything and at any time of the day. There is no set structure or routine to a circle time. It is up to the teacher and students to choose on the structure and what happens in circle time. Circle time can work effectively if implemented and run correctly and are organised, not a last minute put together. Hawker Primary School, Hawker, ACT
