ASB Financial advice!
Nina from ASB came to our class today to talk to us about how we could and should save for our futures. We learnt about different ways that we could make money and different ways we could save it. We found out about interest and how it builds up over time. I think we're all off to the bank after school today!!!

But wait ... there's more!
... more health and fitness! We're also trying out Maori Movement.
Info from Maori Television:
A five-year-old Māori fitness system is set to launch online next month, and it's already attracting worldwide interest. Tens of thousands of people have signed onto Māori Movement, a fitness movement based on the Māori gods. You can't find a fitness program any more Māori than this.
Māori movement Founder Ngārino Te Waati says, “We start with the basic leg movements and then we go through cardio work. From there we hone into the environment and practice the arts of the Māori gods.”
Te Waati explains Māori Movement is based on the individual's own four cornerstones of Māori health. Both he and his wife have been running the movement for the last five years.
“Without a doubt, our first priority is to help strengthen our Māori world especially with all the statistics stacked against Māori.”

We've posted links to this awesome fitness program on our class Google site under the Homework and te reo Maori tabs.
SO SPORTY!
We're a sporty lot at BHPS! As well as our swimming lessons, Jump Jam and Zumba each week, we've had experts in over the last few weeks teaching us some Cricket and Basketball skills. Lots of opportunities to develop our key competency skills too, especially 'Participating and Contributing' and 'Relating to Others'.
Looking forward to our Hockey skills training coming up next.

Fast paced, fun games to practice Cricket ball skills. |
FUN RUN POSTPONED
We walked the Fun Run last week so we knew the course and were all ready for Tuesday's event ... then the weather came! Hopefully the save date next Monday will still be a goer, fingers crossed.
We set off with our Buddy classes to check out the course. |
SWIMMING
We've all been heading over to Birkenhead Pool every Friday afternoon for swimming lessons this term. The weather hasn't been your typical lounging-by-the-pool kind of weather but we've been really proud of the way all the children have had a positive, 'Can Do' attitude and just got on with it anyway. Great resilience and excellent Participating and Contributing' skills, Collab!
