This is a fun activity of doodling from a children's book illustrator.

Non-Screen Activities You can Do at Home


Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te katoa.We should work together for the wellbeing of everyone.



For all children, we will be supporting their learning from your home in the new term through online learning via Seesaw, class blogs and via links on Facebook.  For the next three days and during the school holidays (that have been brought forward to next week 30th March to 15th April) learning resources will be available on class blogs. We are currently developing online programmes with some degree of connectivity to begin after the school holidays.








A message from Nathan Wallis:

If I can leave you with one thing, it’s this: at the end of all of this, your kids’ mental health will be more important than their academic skills.  And how they felt during this time will stay with them long after the memory of what they did during those weeks is long gone. So keep that in mind, every single day…

Kindness




We are learning to use kind words and actions in Room 16. This is what our akonga did for writing to show how they have been kind to each other.

I am kind to Kona. I help him close his bag. I play with him. We play tag outside.

Today I was kind to my mum. I was happy that I helped her wash the dishes. Mum was happy too.

Today I was kind to Khalessi and Winter. I played with Winter and let Khalessi join us. We played at Putikitiki, it was fun!

I help people if they fall over. I can take them to the sick bay when they get hurt. It feels good and happy to be kind.
