The Easter break was a good time for us all to rest and recover. 

When we came back to school on Wednesday it was Discovery.

                           Have you heard about Discovery?
This starts with the Kowhai Syndicate meeting in the staffroom after lunch. Together for 15 minutes we explore and develop a value or Key Competency and think how it affects us. We have recently focussed on managing self and now we are looking at relating to others.
Then we choose an activity that the teachers organise and we split up into groups. At the end we discuss the value/concept again in relation to the activity session we have participated in and go back to our class.
In our classrooms we have a Discovery Caterpillar. Special Discovery stickers are given out when the teacher notices that we are consistently showing a good example of managing ourselves or working well with others and making good choices. 
                      Come and check out our caterpillars.
