We have come to the end of term one of the New Zealand School Year. It seems a natural place to reflect. Reflection is for everyone, an important tool that we all need to learn. It doesn’t come easily to everyone, however. We are desperately trying to equip our children to live and work in a world that we can only imagine. They are digital natives and to a certain extent comfortable with the fast pace of change. Learning how to reflect well will be an essential skill for them as they develop the wisdom they need to thrive in this changing world. It can be hard to get active children to sit still long enough to reflect, and some children naturally don’t seem as inclined to chat about their experiences as others.

I have prepared a simple activity worksheet to help children reflect on their term. It is designed to be used as a tool for conversation with an adult. If you have a very active child you may like to just choose one or two activities or questions a day.

No tweens were harmed in the making of this worksheet ;-)
