Imaginative and Creative Prayer 

Our Religious Education focus for the first three weeks of term 3 was imaginative and creative prayer. 

One of the classes in the school were set up with about 11 different prayer stations. The prayer stations varied; 5 finger prayer, praying for the world, praying in colour, creating a daily prayer, praying with an object, quiet reflecting time etc. All the different students of the school had an opportunity to explore the various prayer stations and learn new ways to pray. The prayer stations were run by the senior students.

We took some of these wonderful ideas back to our class and we did some prayers, such as creating a gratitude prayer chain, creating a prayers poster for the sick and praying in colour. 

The students of Kea class thoroughly enjoyed the RE focus. Please have a look at a few of our photos below.

Today we started to create our musical instruments. We invited Te Kahu class to buddy up with us to help with using the tools and the construction process. Everyone in Kea class had a buddy working with them. The photos show the Tuakana-Teina creativity at work. Many thanks Te Kahu for all of your help. Kea Class are well on the way with their instruments. Some are ready for decorating already, and others just need a little bit more work before being decorated. The students all enjoyed their learning, and they are all very proud of what they have achieved so far.

In our writing we were trying to use description and personal comments to help our readers visualise what was happening and understand how we were feeling.  On Thursday the 8th  of August the whole school was at the Cutler’s farm for Cross country.  To get to the farm, we had to walk down a muddy and smelly track. When all of the students were there, we all walked over to the gazebo to start the races. First went the seniors, next the  juniors. We were second to last to run . When Mrs Watson yelled, “ GO!”,  we all ran through the mud and nearly slipped over. When we came to the plank,  I felt like I was going to fall… and I nearly did! But I kept on running again. Finally, we got to the hill.  I tumbled down, but i got up again. Then I passed where Sittie was st
