    Kia Ora team, 

    Welcome back to Term 2 of 2023. Hope you all have had a great break and ready to pump out the term. 

    Our Focus for this term is Responsible Behaviours. 

    Learning Intention: 

    We are learning how to demonstrate key responsible behaviours for safety in order to successfully participate in Outdoor Education activities. 

    Monday (HEA)

    Today will be an in class session. You will continue with your Term 2 learning- Responsible Behaviours in Outdoor Education Activities. 

    1.) Understand the following terms by copying them into your books. They will be written on the board.

    Physical Safety - this is the care one takes to ensure someone's body is not injured/hurt.  Working to protect one's physical safety means a reduction in broken bones, concussions, cuts, bruises, and even death.

    Emotional Safety - this is the care one takes to ensure someone's emotions/feelings are cared for. Working to protect one's emotional safety means that they are less nervous, anxious, frightened, threatened, etc.

    So now we know about the key Responsible behaviours (from last week) what are some ways these are incorporated into life?  We will complete an investigation into Aaron Ralston.  We will watch a couple of videos about him and answer the following questions: 

    1.)  What happened to him? What went wrong?

    2.) What did he not do ahead of his trip? 

    3.) How was his physical safety and his emotional safety impacted?

    4.) What safety behaviours should be demonstrated and how would such a demonstration alter his outcome?
