Life Education Programme

Our whole school has been enjoying the Life Education programme in the giant trailer this week. It is a programme about life skills and social skills and we in Room 3 have been learning about how special and unique we all are. We have also been learning about different parts of our bodies and how they work. Some of that is nice and some of it is a bit yucky! Victoria has been our teacher in the programme and she has an awesome friend called Harold - a giant giraffe.

Cool School Peer Mediators - 2010

On Friday the new Cool School Peer Mediators at Hira School for 2010 were commissioned at a special assembly. There are eleven new mediators who are about to start duties on Monday. Their proud parents attended the assembly along with the regional Cool School coordinator from Wellington - Lyn Scott. Even though Room 3 kids use some very sensible problem solving strategies when faced with tricky situations - they are looking forward to having the mediators support in the playground to help them solve their problems and deal with conflict.

Sports With Lee Corlett

Every week of last term we have been learning many new fundamental sports skills with sports expert- Lee Corlett. We have our final session with Lee this week. We learning balancing, running, jumping and manoeuvring skills that the All Blacks and the Silver Ferns have to do in their training sessions. Lee keeps telling us we are almost as good as those experts who represent New Zealand at rugby and netball!! We believe him!!!!

Fitness and Picnic - Term 1

At the end of Term 1 Room 3 students trekked up the hill at Laura's farm to the top where we enjoyed a magificent almost 360 degree view of the sea to the south and to the west. The trek was steep and interesting and the slide back down was fun. Thanks to Laura and her family for a great day out. We all felt fitter and more connected after having a picnic day out.
