Term Two
The
title in te reo Māori of Term Two's theme means well-being, some would
even include mauri ora which is an all-embracing concept centred about
one's life force. Collectively it encompasses the five gifts identified
across all cultures as being fundamentally important to one's
well-being. The school's Choice Policy (5.30) on the Documents
page of the school's website gives a fuller background to these gifts.
Linked from the same page also is a table outlining how these Needs
Competencies and Values are woven throughout the early childhood
curriculum, that of the compulsory sector and also then translating into
tertiary.
For
the Kaituna Kids however, it all translates into health and safety
stuff. Be it bikes, the road, fire wise, first aid, healthy eating,
exercising/sleeping or Keeping Ourselves Safe. It all looks like a pretty good term all up. Watch this space.
