Run,Jump,Throw

What a fun afternoon we had using the skills we have been learning to compete in our running, jumping and throwing events. It was great to have such a fantastic turnout of parents.

Welcome to Niall


Today we were happy to have Niall join us. It is lovely having you, Niall and we extend a warm welcome to you and your family.

Turtle


We have learnt to do the 'Turtle' when are are mad, sad or upset. 

  1. We cross our arms infront of our chests.
  2. We pretend to crawl into our shell
Then we:
  • Tell ourselves to stop!
  • Take one long deep breath.
  • Say the problem and how you feel.
  • Say to yourself 'I can be calm'.
We made turtles on Friday to remind us of what we can do to help ourselves.

Anger


This week we discussed what it feels like, and looks like when we are angry. We explored what makes us angry and ways that we can help ourselves to feel better again. We learnt that everyone gets angry at times and that this is okay. We talked about our behaviours when we are angry and what is acceptable and what is not.
You can read our stories here.

Music


Pukeko Nest loved their music lessons and concentrated so hard. They enjoyed using maracas to shake to a rhythm and pop up puppets to listen to the pitch.
