Bible in schools assembly

Bible Assembly for Term Four

Watch what you watch and watch what you eat.

Mr Marty and Roy were in today for our Bible Assembly to start the term. 

We gave Diesel some advice about how he should eat healthier. We need to think about how we can be healthier by eating healthier. 

We learned about how marketing advertisers trick us into recognising advertising logos and brands. The average child sees 15 advertisements advertising junk food. 

We talked about how we can help people who don't like to read. 

As always, we finished with a game of Zonk! - won by the boys 85 - 20

Ki o rahi trials

Our seniors had trials for the school Ki O Rahi teams recently. It was great to see them managing the game themselves and having a great time!

Constructing New Furniture

A Great Example of Teamwork

With moving into a new shared space, we found we needed to purchase a few new pieces of furniture.  Today I decided to let the kids go for it.  This was partly to help develop our team work and communication skills and how to read and follow written assembly instructions.  The fact that it all looked too complicated for me when I opened the box,  also played a part in motivating this exercise.  

Three groups worked together and in record time and with so much ease, we soon had two new wheelie chairs and a tote tray trolley.

Working together to put all the parts together.

The instructions were discarded, the communication solid.

Many hands make light work and everybody contributes.

Adding the finishing touches.

All pitching in.

Boom!  Check that out.

Voila!  Another fine creation.

Done and Done!  A solid and sturdy trolley for us to use.

If I knew they were going to nail these so quickly I would have given them a few more projects.  I know what I'm going to do next time we have something to out together.
