While the weather is nice we like to get out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Te Puawai enjoy playing games, especially Basketball. Today for our Pit Stop break we played 'Golden Child' where one team shoots goals to stop the other team from running all the way around the court and tagging the next person. Once the whole team has run around the court that team is the winner.
As a school we practice the waiata that we will be singing at our end of year prizegiving. These songs are in English and Maori, celebrating two of the official languages of Aotearoa. It is a great time for the Te Puawai students to show their excellent role model skills and for the school to participate in an activity together, showing our school value of Porihanga or Community and Partnerships.
Congratulations to all the hardworking 'Maths Whizz Kids' in Te Puawai! We have won the Top Mathletics Class two weeks in a row. Well done Te Puawai!
When the weather isn't very nice and we are stuck inside,
As part of the New Zealand wide initiative 'Shake Out' we practiced what to do in the event of an earthquake. In Te Puawai we discussed what an earthquake was and what causes an earthquake. We also talked about what to do when an earthquake struck.
If we are in class we need to 'drop, cover, hold'!
