Avie: Shares his creative writing talent!

Thank you Avie! Not only are you an amazing caretaker! But you are an inspirational poet. Thank you for reading some of your beautiful poetry to us in the library. You painted exquisite pictures in our minds and let us see the world from your perspective.

M12 meditates!

Am I Healthy?


We have been inquiring about our health. As part of our inquiry into what makes us healthy we decided to look at the links between our mood and our health.
We are doing a survey at home to see if exercise and mood are connected. We asked our mum and dad in our maths investigation to tell us what makes them happy.
In class we decided to try meditation after lunch to see what effects it has on the way we feel.
We'll let you know later on, what we found out……..






















We also tried a massage circle to relax our tired muscles.

M12 is starting a new blog to celebrate learning in M12 and create a link between home and school.


M12 started their learning year with an interesting trip to Te Papa. We looked at the Marae and did detailed sketches of the carvings and designs in our journals. This began our inquiry about ' Am I Healthy?' We know lots about our physical health but we are keen to find out about our spiritual, social and mental health. We have lots of questions………can't wait to find out more!
