We are learning to address the factors that can affect our well being

Next to each of these scenarios write down which area of your well being is being affected
- social/whanau, spiritual, mental/emotional or physical. You might find that they affect more
than one area,

• Going for a run: Physical

• Playing a sports game with others: Mental

• Going to church, the marae, temple… : Spiritual

• Listening to your favorite music: Emotional

• Eating fresh fruit and vegetables: Physical

• Learning from a grandparent or caregiver: social whanau

• Taking part in a cultural club or activity: Physical, Spiritual, Social

• Getting enough sleep: Physical

Imagine you are part of the following scenarios. Make a decision that will positively
impact on your wellbeing and note which aspect of your wellbeing is affected.

You and your older brother have been given some money to buy food for you and
your younger siblings for the next few days. You are tempted to buy take away,
but you have to buy enough food for breakfast, lunch (for school/pre-school) and
dinner for two days.: Social, physical

You are having a really bad day and feel yourself getting angry and upset. You had a small

argument with a friend earlier in the day, but you are now really angry at them. The bell will

be ringing in ten minutes and you will have to sit next to this friend. What could you do?:  

Mental, Emotional

You have just changed schools and are missing your old friend and activities At your old school you played for the school rugby team, but you have not played a port here, except for in P.E.Physical

You are Tongan, but your parents were born and grew up in New Zealand. They taught you

English since you were born so that you would find New Zealand life easier, but they did not

teach you much Tongan. At school you see other students speaking Tongan and participating

in Tongan clubs and dancing. Although you feel happy in New Zealand, you wish you could

connect to your Tongan roots.: Physical, Spirtual, Mental

Beyonce Immersion Assembly

Fresh start to Term 3, actually wasn’t just a fresh start but it was a more like a Beyonce`. Our theme for this Term was Move Ya’ Body. We thought it would just be like our last Terms theme “We like to move it” but it was totally DIFFERENT!!. Some music starting to play is that beyonce?, coming with a special guest star…. BEYONCE??

We sat down in our lines, getting settled in, waiting for our Immersion assembly to start. Everyone started to go quite, Usually we always start off with Mr Brut welcoming everyone, but unfortunately he wasn’t there, but there was two men's standing on each side of the stage, Mr Somerville and Mr Jacobson, then all of sudden while Beyonce music was playing. Someone with golden hair started running out, someone hairy it was Mr Brut.

We were laughing hard out because of his Denim shorts and his light green socks with his white singlet, he was trying very very very hard to look like beyonce his clothes looked great, but we weren’t sure what was going on with his legs.

My favourite part about the Immersion assembly was Team 2 video because Mrs Morran and Miss Moran were dancing to Kiki.

Thanks to all our teachers for starting us off with a great Term 3 start and all the hard work you put into!.

Christchurch Idea Post - Compost Theater: Leilani

Idea for Poster

Compose theater - In Christchurch central city, there could be a
huge stone wall that had a projector on it. A projector that plays
movies for anyone who wants to watch and best of all the projector
is powered by compost or rubbish. So you just tip in your rubbish or
compost and it will melt Making gas for it to work.
1. So the process will happen in like a indestructible metal burning container that can be built in a building. So.. that metal container will be doing all the work, yeps that right!. The metal container will be heated up at about to a really hot temperature and then the compost and rubbish that will be tipped in will melt and make gas for it to work.

2. Then there will be a projector that will show a movie on a wall with a white sheet making it for anyone who wants to watch movies. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is a good idea to use in Christchurch, because the damage that the earthquake caused can destroy everything. While this Compost Theater could save so much money and a lot of energy. Plus!, who doesn't like a free movie theater right in the PUBLIC!
