Cami Margasoiu_Telling Tales_ REANZ
Read a story of fantasy from one teacher in this room. Cami shared this documentation as part of an ongoing project in which the children were investigating fantasy.
From the children of the Stellar room, 3-5 year olds
Stellar is the Latin word for “stars”
In this classroom language, problem-solving and self-help skills are the “norm”. The children are active learners and teachers in their play. The environment is set up in the Reggio Emilia style whereby the environment is the third teacher. The children are able to interact with their environment, but there is also guidance from the teachers to encourage interest in the world around them.
The centre has installed a computer in this room so that the children can quickly access information on the things they’re interested in – with the opportunity to put together slide shows and video presentations using the classroom projector.
Here, the children are independent and mastering all the skills that have been initiated in the younger classrooms.
The children in the pre-school room are involved in short-term and long-term projects, based on their interests.
They’re encouraged to display their work on the walls for their families to view.

Hello REANZ friends in Christchurch,
We have had an enquiry from a teacher in Christchurch who would like to meet up with others in the city and district to meet, talk and arrange future seminars.
The REANZ trustees are always interested to help by coming to your city to help run a one day event or seminar but we do need some local willing helpers. We have recently brought five speakers to Dunedin in a wonderfully successful seminar, 150 teachers attended.
If you are interested leave a comment or email our contact and we will arrange for you to meet each other. We are waiting to hear from you.
