End of Term Specialist Fun!

As part of our Year 0-4 Specialist Teaching programme, we have exciting sessions called ‘Matanga Madness’ planned for the last week of the term. Today was filled with laughter and fun as we engaged in various games, including ‘Rob the Nest’, Noodle tag, Relays, playground play, and a Scavenger Hunt!

These activities were not only enjoyable but also aimed at promoting balanced well-being among the students. By encouraging social play, cooperation, and physical activity, we fostered an environment where students could thrive both mentally and physically.

We had some GREAT leaders from the Year 5/6 Hapori to help us.  It was wonderful to see the students actively participating and having a great time while also nurturing important skills and values. We look forward to more sessions like this in the future to continue supporting the holistic development of our students.

Winner of Pukeko Matanga Madness for Term 1 was Kauri House! They enjoyed a nice cold iceblock as their prize!

 

Our Identity is so important!

We have been exploring our identity – who we are and where we come from. Understanding these aspects is crucial as they play a vital role in shaping and nurturing a positive self-worth.

 

Our Wellbeing Programme has begun!

Prioritising our Well-being is crucial!  We have kicked off Well-being sessions here at school!

Take a glance at these photos capturing our staff enjoying our annual ‘FArmageddon’ event. This gathering not only promotes team building and staff cohesiveness but also fosters positive interactions, setting us, as teachers, up for a fantastic year ahead. We are committed to taking care of our Well-being!
