Bruised and Beautiful Apples

Today the Waipuna Team talked about how words can hurt. We said nice compliments to an apple and then unkind words to another. When we cut into the apples we saw that while on the outside the apples looked the same on the inside the bruises showed. We are learning how important it is to think about what we say!

Paper Chains...

image

For "Bullying Free NZ week" the Waipuna children watched a video called "Oat the Goat". Then we wrote our ideas on a piece of paper for how we can be kind to others. We will piece these together to be a "Chain of Kindness". We are learning how important our words and actions are!

Waipuna Looking Good on Pink Shirt Day!

image

To kick off Bullying Free NZ week we wore pink shirts (or anything pink to show our support) on Monday. This year’s theme, Let’s Talk About It!, aims to encourage conversations between children and young people and the adults around them, and to get the whole community talking about the issue. We will be doing some fun activities this week to support this.
