Harold the Giraffe

We have been so lucky to have Harold, the Giraffe, and his friend Chris visit us from Life Education Trust.

Harold has been helping us to recognise and acknowledge feelings such as sadness, happiness and anger.  Harold reminded us of the important qualities of friendship and he showed us what it looks like to be a good friend.

We love it when Harold visits and we are already looking forward to seeing him next year!

Waitangi Day - The Hihi and Ruru Class Treaty

Today we discussed Waitangi Day.  

The Hihi class acted out the role of the tangata whenua (Maori) of New Zealand, whilst our Ruru friends were the British settlers.

We explored the need to create a Treaty to ensure that we are all protected by fair rules, which we all created and agreed upon - see below.........

Article One:

Be kind to each other.

Article Two:

Share traditions.

Article Three:

Look after our environment.

We then signed the treaty to demonstrate our commitment to upholding each of the 'Three Articles' in our Te Tiriti o Wentworth (The Treaty of Wentworth).

The Maori and British friends agreeing to share traditions.

 

Signing the Treaty!
