Duffy Theatre

We had Duffy Theatre come yesterday it was so much fun! There is a role model assembly later in the term and we will receive the Duffy Books then. We all love getting Duffy books that we get to choose!!

Regenerate Christchurch

Today we worked with the team from Regenerate Christchurch, Sian and Daisy. Regenerate Christchurch is seeking ideas for how to utilise the redzone by asking children from the area! So they came to Rāwhiti. How amazing is that!? Today we were shown a drone video of the redzone and what it looks like with no houses with just greenery and wide open spaces. We discussed how we could utilise this space by putting things there that we need to lead a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally. The children shared their ideas with the Regenerate team by drawing their ideas onto postcards and explaining them. They were blown away by Tāwhirimātea's ideas! 

Here are some of our fantastic ideas!

Get Wise

Today we had Aimee here from ASB who takes the Get Wise Programme. She taught us about different ways we can earn money, the difference between saving using a money bank versus putting it in the bank, gaining interest, eftpos cards, pins and heaps more! For the rest of the week we will be learning more about currency, comparing prices, budgeting, using brochures and creating shopping lists among other things! 

Global Play Day

Rāwhiti School was part of Global Play Day on Friday 3rd February. The children brought along a toy that was not electronic and they played with their friends learning to self-manage and self-regulate their behaviour. You can see from the photos the children were so happy and enjoyed using their imaginations to create different games and activities! We all had a blast and learned heaps :).
