Thursday was "Outdoor Classroom Day."
Some ākonga started the day with a Character Strength hunt around the school. They worked with younger students to find posters placed around the school. It was wonderful to see the Curiosity, Leadership and Zest.
Students have been using their creativity and imagination, channelling Andy Goldsworthy by creating environmental artwork. Students have been interacting meaningfully with their surroundings. They are developing the strength of Appreciating Beauty and Excellence.
Some students worked on their mapping skills and made treasure maps around the school.
Some students used the Te Reo for the gardening which we have been learning.
Students made fitness circuits for younger students with a goal to improve their Positive Health.
There are so many benefits for children to play and learn outside. Research shows that it improves children's mental and physical health. Find out more: https://outdoorclassroomday.com/about/
