Tea party learning story example

Tea parties highlight planning, language, and cooperation. Keep the observation focused and brief.

Tea party learning story example

Children planned a pretend tea party: they wrote invitations, set cups/plates, and assigned roles (host, server, guest). On the day, they greeted guests, poured “tea,” and used polite phrases (“please,” “thank you,” “your turn”). They solved a seating mix‑up by adding a place setting together.

Learning analysis (EYLF v2.0 / Te Whāriki)

  • EYLF Outcome 2: cooperating, negotiating roles, and contributing to a group plan.
  • EYLF Outcome 5: social language, invitations, and turn‑taking phrases.
  • EYLF Outcome 4: planning steps, following through, and revising when issues arise.
  • Te Whāriki – Belonging (Mana Whenua) and Communication (Mana Reo): participation in shared routines and purposeful talk.

Next steps and extensions

  • Add name cards/menus to support print awareness and role language.
  • Rotate roles next time; introduce a simple timer for fair turns.
  • Invite children to dictate a short “thank you” note after the event.

Quick summary and tips

  • Capture planning → hosting → resolving a small problem.
  • Link language and cooperation to outcomes in one line each.
