Action Planning with Jenny

-

On Monday Jenny from the Working Waters Trust came back to see Whio to talk about tuna following our stream immersion day. 

We thought about what we didn't like about our stream and what we really liked. Some of things we didn't like were that there was too much algae and not enough native plants to provide shade. Then we brainstormed some actions we can take to help.

Jenny sometimes does this work with adults too and she said the kids often come up with the best ideas!

 Today our children hosted the full school assembly. We had so much fun sharing our learning and especially our song mahunga, Pakihiwi, puku, hope, waewae (heads, shoulders, knees and toes).  Congratulations to our tamariki who received assembly certificates.  These are our awesome presenters.                                                                                                                                    These are the special tamariki who received certificates.

Firewise Visit from The NZ Fire Service

Today we were lucky enough to have 6 fire fighters from the Wigram Station come to school and share the Firewise programme with us. We all learnt some very important things-  Candles, matches and lighters are tools NOT toys (so are for grown ups only)  When the smoke alarm goes off we have to shout "Fire! Fire! Fire!" then we get down, get low, and get out.  Make sure your family has a safe meeting spot once you get out (the letterbox is a great choice). When you are asleep you cannot smell smoke- this makes smoke detectors essential.  We also got to see the fire truck and they explained all the special tools and equipment they have on board. The children got to ask lots of great questions and share some experiences too.

Ahuriri Visits

Each year the Ahuriri children come to visit the Whio studio. They get to have a look at our space, play with our equipment and their old friends from Ahuriri and meet their possible teachers for next year. It was amazing to see the Whio children being such role models today and really looking after our visitors. We are so proud of them. The Ahuriri children will come for a few more studio visits before the end of the year.
