Te haerenga ki te kura Community (getting to school)
"I think it's great getting them out in the fresh air. And being part of the community that we're in."
In our Community (getting to school) theme you’ll find a treasure trove of classroom and whole school activities. Ways to help ākonga (students) discover the mauri (life force/energy) of their neighbourhood, and get practical help for student-led projects that make a difference at the school gate.
Students use mapping skills in real life situations, identify safe routes and think about how they keep themselves safe.
Work in groups doing a ‘walkability checklist’ and rate the mauri in your school neighbourhood.
Use these new skills to help your kura (school) set up a Walking School Bus to get more kids on the Waewae Express!
