  • Whaia te iti Kahurangi ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei 

    Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain


    Kia ora. I hope you were kind to yourself (as well as to those around you) last week.  We are lucky that kindness is not bound by quantity - if fact, the more kindness you show, the more kindness you receive.  Don't wait for a special moment to undertake a random act of kindness - try and find at least one moment a week where you can be kind with no expectation of acknowledgment or reward - it will make you feel so much better inside.   This week, we are going to continue working on our travel research.  By now you should have completed a KW chart to guide your research and started to record your research on a T-Chart.  We are meeting as a year group on Monday with Miss Steel to discuss the plan and do for this term.
