Samoan Language Week

For Samoan Language Week Room 3 have been learning how to ask and answer some questions in Samoan. Here are some of our ideas. 

Toru TV Episode 6

Next week's behaviour of the week is showing respect by keeping our hands and feet to ourselves. We were inspired by the 'Give Nothing To Racism' adverts where racism is given no respect, no place and no encouragement. So if you see someone who is not keeping their hands and feet to themselves, give them no encouragement and help them make a smart choice.

Toru TV Episode 5

Hi all, it's been a few weeks since the last episode. This week's behaviour is to be responsible on the field and courts. One way to do this is by finding help if you need it (as Semisi, John and Cordell will show us). Can you name the other two ways of being responsible in these areas?

We also have mediators starting this week so keep an eye out for them at playtime and find them if you need help solving a problem.

Local Values

At Wesley Primary our values are respectful and responsible. We wanted to know what values local businesses had so we wrote to some of them. The Warehouse and Coffee Club kindly replied and shared their values with us. We then compared their values with our own (along with our graduate profile) to see if they were similar. This is what we found out...

NYLD 2018

This week our Kea class captains went to National Young Leaders Day. We heard lots of awesome speakers and got plenty of good advice about thinking like a leader. One of my top tips was to try and look for chances to tell people what they are good at.

MOTAT

Last Friday the Kea and Hoiho teams visited MOTAT to have a lesson on Fantastic Flight. We also explored the Simple Machines and Gearing Up exhibitions and had a ride on the tram. Can any Wesley students share what they learnt on the trip?
