Throughout this week we are having a focus on Bullying-Free activities to promote Bullying-Free Week NZ 2018.

Kindness Matrix - 

As a class we talked about kindness and how kindness has a ripple effect. Students brainstormed how they could share statements with others to show kindness. There are Kindness Compliments strips around our Hub for students to pass compliments to each other. Examples of these; keep being who you are, you're a good friend, you are awesome, nice job.

Video -

For the Birds - see video below. Watching this video prompted discussion around how we treat other people. Questions that student were asked to think about - Does it have a message? Who are the mean ones? Why are they mean? Are any of the small birds worse then others? Is there a moral to the story? 

Team Assembly - 

Noah, Charlotte, Jak and Brayden W spoke to the Kauri team at team assembly on Monday afternoon. They talked about how there are posters around the school promoting Bully-Free Week and they shared a story called Oat the Goat and a song about bullying called Bars and Melody - Hopeful Lyrics.
