Tread Lightly Caravan

Tread Lightly Caravan

Hi Bloggers
On the second of April Waitemata (my class) did the Tread Lightly Caravan. 

We had three stations. One was doing The Great Drain Game in the caravan. The second was going around the school in a duo and finding as many drains as possible. My duo found 45 drains. The last station had two stations in it. It was inside. One activity I had to wear Virtual reality goggles. With them we looked under water and learnt about pollution. And the other was learning about the grass lands that help stop pollution.

My favourite was finding the drains because we found them very quickly, and because we got to work as a team. I learnt the most inside because the group learnt what happens to bird and fish with plastic. What it's like under water, and how grass lands help pollution. The drain game is last on my list because we only learnt about were your water or soap goes when it's goes into the drain or sink. That's the end.

Mental Heath

Hi Bloggers

On Gumboot Friday New Zealand supports mental health.

Incase you don’t know what Gumboot Friday is, it’s about supporting mental health.

This is the second year they have done it.

They chose Gumboots because the people who have mental health problems,

for them it’s like they’re going through mud.

They have raised $315,352.99 towards mental health. You can still donate.

So for Gumboot Friday we made cards to deliver to random people around the school area.

The cards were to make people feel good about themselves.

The messages were like ‘Man I feel like you could light up my day’.

So we split into groups of about 8-9.

And we each put about 3 cards each in the letter boxes.

The card idea came about through the Healthy Puketapapa Student Questionnaire.

30 Te Waka Ako students did it. One of them suggested we do the card drop.

So the senior teachers decided to do them. That is the thought of how it started.

This also matches with our inquiry topic HAUORA - WELLBEING.

I think that this is great for our community to understand that they are great and so are you.

I think this is a great idea to help people with bad mental

health because they can do bad things in the future.

( I don’t want to offend anyone with mental health problems)
