Welcome Back - 2011

Well we have had a fantastic start to the year. It is going to be a very busy term with camp along with loads of extra activities planned to support our learning concept of Hauora - Healthy Me. Keep a look out for the regular school newsletter along with special Kawau Camp newsletters.

Our learning concept this term is HAUORA - HEALTHY ME. Our enduring understandings are:

- Making the right choices helps to create a Healthy Me

- Jesus guides us to lead a healthy balance life.

We will be exploring these ideas by finding out what exactly does being healthy mean and how as individuals we can take responsibility for our own health. During the term we will be involved in the Confident Kids Programme and Life Education to support our classroom learning.

As part of trying to be healthy we will be devising a fitness trail so we can get out for short bursts of exercise. Our PE focus this term is STRIKE/FIELD/THROW so we will also be playing games like T Ball and cricket as well as learning the skills needed to play these games.

We have been learning about Cyber Safety using a site call Hector's World. The children are learning how to identify safe internet sites, how to create strong passwords and why they should not give out their personal details.
