Wow, another week filled with an absolute bundle of fun. We had our first kapa haka lesson, PE, El Grego show and our first week of buddies!
Ahuriri children are settling in so well and are exploring new elements of the curriculum each week. This past week we have had kapa haka, P.E., the El Grego magician show and our first week of buddies.
In Kapa haka the children learn waiata, karakia and te reo. The children love learning a new language, new songs and even a bit of sign language. Kapa haka reinforces a sense of belonging, strengthening whakawhanaunatanga, which plays a huge role toward positive feelings experienced.
In P.E. we have been focusing on basic ball skills and ball control. The children played a range of buddied up games where they further developed their hand eye coordination.
Our visit from El Grego had the children in stitches of laughter. They enjoyed learning new tricks and also learning more about how to be a great audience member.
This week, two children from T1 and T2 have received a values certificate celebrating their demonstration of the value, whanaunatanga. This focuses in on celebrating children growing connections with their peers and creating a sense of belonging. Congratulations to Vinny and Tobin from T1 and Nevé and Liam from T2.
