Scooter Safety Program

Image
The Huritini children were lucky enough to be part of a 'pilot' scooter safety program run by the Christchurch City Council and sponsored by Micro. They covered the '10 Golden Rules for Safer Scooter Riding' through fun and interactive games. The children came back buzzing from the sessions with lots to share back with their peers and teachers. 'I learned when cars come out of their driveways to get off my scooter quickly' - Quinn and Arya. 'I liked playing Sneak up Granny and learning how to stop safely' - Isla and Sami. They talked about safety equipment, the different parts of the scooter and how to use them properly,  keeping a safe distance around intersections and driveways and riding in the wet weather. Each child was given a certificate for their participation.

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

 This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori - Māori Language Week.  The Whio tamariki have been enjoyed listening to and speaking lots of te reo Māori. We practiced talking about our feelings with the question: Kei te pēhea koe?   

Rainy Day Music

 This term T10 have been loving their fortnightly Tuesday music lessons with Mrs Gillman.  This week they enjoyed making rainy day 4 beat rhythms using crotchet and quaver beats, inspired by the song "Rain Rain, Go Away".

Welcome Back to School Whio

We are so glad to be back at school. The children have had a smooth transition back after lockdown. It was lovely to spend the first couple of days reconnecting and enjoying time together.
