Travelwise Leaders Activate!

 

Today the Travelwise Leaders met with Police Officer Matt, Ms Daniel and Helene & Alice from Auckland Transport.  We wanted to  look at how to promote safe healthy travel to and from school.

After introductions we talked about the challenge of getting tamariki out of cars and encouraging parents to drop off safely.  Skilling Place was talked about as an issue for unsafe stopping.

Some ideas we had for actions were:

- Wednesday Challenge

- Safety at the school gate flyers

- holding up signs for five days - broken yellow signs - road safety week in Week 3 - sign up

- posters

- make a video

- skit in whole school assembly

- assembly - class introduction

- meet Mondays at lunchtime

- collaborate with Eco Warriors and Road Patrollers

- road safety week Fancy Feet

- MOE video

Next we went to look at Skilling Place and shoot some video footage.

We're looking forward to joining The Wednesday Challenge and running Road Safety Week in Term 2.  Stay tuned for more details!

Year One Eat a Rainbow

 Today Year One learnt about the importance of eating five or more serves of  fruits & vegetables a day.  We learnt a serve is the size of our fist.  Eating a rainbow of different colours means our bodies and getting all types of vitamins and minerals.

We explored the mara and tried green silverbeet and red apples.  Next we drew different coloured fruits and vegetables and read a "Fredge 5Aday" story.  Lastly we finished off with banana yoga and a fun salad colour in.  What fruits and vegetables will you eat today?
