Cross Country

Today was a beautiful day - perfect for school cross country.
This year some of us were disappointed that there wasn't any water in the creek, but at least our shoes didn't get stuck in the bog.

I am so proud of our Room 5 children. You put lots of effort into your run today. I was certainly challenging getting up the steep hills!

Here are some photos ...

Manaakitanga

Today Room 5 started our Health topic of Sexuality Education. We've been learning what Manaakitanga means. (If you don't know - check out the picture below).
We got into groups and put scenario cards on a continuum of what we thought showed NO manaakitanga, through to what showed a lot of manakitanga.

It was interesting that most of the groups had similar ideas - even though there was no 'right or wrong' answers.

Cross Country Training

Cross Country is next Friday and Room 5 students have been out on the road training. We've set training goals and are working towards achieving these over the next week and a bit!
