Week 4

Trying something new is one of the many things that we are working on as part of our Winning Ways to Wellbeing.

Today we had the opportunity to do that.

Burnie came to visit some of the children in Te Puna and Mel  asked us if we would like to join them,

Burnie is Gemma's pony and we all had to decide if we wanted to have a pat or get on Burnie for a ride.

A few of us were just a little nervous about making the decision to go for a ride so instead we gave Burnie a pat and felt how warm he was. Also we could feel his breath on our hands…it was warm too.

This is so exciting….

I think I will just have a pat….

Me too….

I feel like a cowboy!

This afternoon we talked about all the different emotions that we had when we went to see Burnie.
We were a bit nervous when we first saw him but then we were excited about patting and having a ride on him.
Thank you Mel for thinking of us.

Another part of Our Winning Ways to Wellbeing is keeping fit .

You can keep fit and active by doing heaps of things like swimming, walking, biking, playing rugby, being on a scooter and playing tag.

Have you ever thought of having sack race to keep fit?

We all did this on Tuesday. It was so much fun, but it isn't easy. We kept on falling over until we got the hang of it.

We farewelled Aieshar on Thursday as she is away for two weeks holiday with her Nanna.
We hope that she has an awesome holiday. We wished that we could have gone with her!!!!
