This week we went to Autahi to help develop and foster our positive relationships with some buddies. We each had a buddy, we listened to them reading, helped them to post something they were proud of on seesaw and helped them practise their rocket words. We thought back about our own time in Autahi and how we enjoyed it when "the big kids" came to work with us. We also talked a bit about what it was like being a year 1 and learning to do pretty much everything at school for the first time. We needed to be patient, encouraging and helpful.
Being able to help others can give us a sense of positive purpose. Being leaders of our school and tuakana to our smaller friends is another way to have a greater purpose. Positive purpose and relationships are two parts of the flourish model of Positive Education. These elements contribute to our overall sense of wellbeing.
Watch this space for more connections with Autahi and Tautoru.
What things in your life give you a sense of purpose? Or help you to foster meaningful relationships?
