Life Education Caravan - Te Whare Tapa Wha.

May 18 & 19 Te Kauru visited the Life Education Caravan. Our learning focussed on Te Whare Tapa Wha - A Maori Health Model.

We watched videos and discussed: what making good choices means. what barriers there are to making the right choice about a situation, why we find it hard to make the right choices when we are with our friends.

Term 1 Week 3 - Tuturu Tangata Programme

We welcome Whaea Nat from Te Rarawa this week. She will be delivering the Tuturu Tangata Programme to Te Kauru, Te Puawai, Te Manga and Te Putake. The programme looks at keeping ourselves healthy by eating heathly food. In our first session we discussed with Whaea Nat and our class what we knew about being healthy. In the next session we made smoothies and bliss balls. In the third session Whaea Nat provided us with planting equipment and decorations for our plant pots. We were sad we didn't get together with the other 3 classes to celebrate with an activities day, due to our tutors being unwell. We all enjoyed what we got to do.
