Restorative Practice workshop

Good role modelling of mixing up groups:
1) Number of people in household when you were between 5-10
2) Oldest/middle/youngest
3) Comfort in dealing with 5 different sceneros - community and student, teacher and student, class and student, individual student. Then split into A's, B's, C's
4) 1 x A, 1 x B and 2 x C's sit in a group
5) C's change groups
6) Walk across room and find someone you haven't worked with today
7) Repeat 6
8) Get into 3's
