Det betyr at barna sitter sammen i en ring og tilbringer kvalitetstid (?) sammen.

Circle Time, also called group time, refers to any time that a group of people are sitting together for an activity involving everyone.

The method is now in widespread use in schools across the UK. In Scotland many primary schools use the method regularly and it is starting to be introduced into secondary schools. It’s a special time to share fingerplays, chants and rhymes, songs, play rhythm instruments, read a story, and participate in movement games and relaxation activities. Circle time provides a time for listening, developing attention span, promoting oral communication, and learning new concepts and skills.
