In the last two weeks in Whanau Groups we have had some fun learning different ways we can encourage each other. We practiced different phrases in English and Te Reo while encouraging each other through different games and activities.

There were many opportunities for students to work together across the learning teams and encourage each other including blindfold games, relays, running and making encouraging bookmarks. It’s great to see children enjoying each others’ company and helping each other across the school.

Here are some phrases we have learnt and practiced.

Karawhiua - Go for it

Kia kaha - Be strong, keep going

Ka rawe - That’s awesome

Ka taea e koe - You can do it

Kia mau - Hang in there
