Each Monday morning (9-10.45am) we focus on replenishing our students hauora in a fun and engaging way. Each week is slightly different but we will always try to work on all four dimensions in Whare Tapa Wha. We want to make our students feel comfortable and safe in our classroom and to give them a little bit of time to get back into the routine and kaupapa of our classroom.
We will always complete some type of physical movement such as fitness, games, activities and structured free play outside with P.E gear. We also eat a nutritious filling meal together. So far we have had butter chicken, and nacho's.
Since starting our Funday Mondays we have noticed that we have more students attend school on a Monday. Our students are more determined to come to school as they don't want to miss out on any of the activities or games for the morning. We have also noticed that our children’s relationships with one another have strengthened. All of the activities that we do are to allow our students to create better relationships with others in the class. We encourage them to move around often so that they can interact with a variety students.
