Responsible Respectful & Reay to Learn

We are learning the 3Rs at Selwyn School. To be responsible, respectful and ready to learn in the community, we need to remember to say please (respectful), help people out when they need it (responsible) and if we walk on the road without looking and get hit by a bus, we will know not to do it again (ready to learn)!

Malfroy is Sunsmart

Last Tuesday we did a presentation to our school assembly.

We wanted to promote being sunsmart and showed a powerpoint of types of melanoma and what sunburn can do to our skin.

We think showing the pictures was a good idea because they were real and kids dont want to get melanoma after seeing these pictures.

We also told them to slip, slop, slap and wrap.

Kai at the Right Price

A new project is being run in Western Heights and Mangakino communities over the next few months. Kai at the right price is a project to ensure families have access to quality fresh produce at an affordable price.

Here's how it works - the shop that is involved offers two different size packs every week, which will contain a selection of fresh, seasonal produce. These will always be priced at either $10 or $15. On a given day the buyer picks up their re-usable bag with their produce.

For Western Heights contact Produce Plus on 07 349 1207

For Mangakino contact Mangakino Four Square on 07 882 8122

Where to Next? Brainstorms

Sun Safety

This year at HPS we have been talking about sun safety and blogs. This year I have learnt more about sun safety and we have met new people throughout the year and that has been cool. Next I hope that Whaea Donna could explain more so that I can learn more about HPS .

HPS

Last year for health promoting we have been doing a lot of interesting things. We had lots of fundraisers like discos, pj day, wacky hair day, pirate day and much more. Today we had to brain storm some things that we wanted to do about our school and we want to make a lot of changes..... and today we had a hps hui where other schools came and we did work. We also learnt about sun smart safety.

Our new canteen

When I heard that we were getting a new canteen I was like ''Mmmm'' so that day when it started I went to go and order my lunch and was happy and full of joy. At lunch time I went to go and get my lunch but I couldn't because the whole kitchen was full of kids that were hungry. On the way when I was walking to my friends I was like "YUMMY" for my lunch I had hot chips and delicious tender hotdogs.

...THE END...

By Pipiana Te Amo

Today we are having a HPS hui.

We leart about cancer and the name of types of cancer.
We did a brain storm about how we could be more sun smart or road safe.
We also wrote some ideas for the sun safe competion. For example we want it to be funny and humorous. The main thing is we want a shade over the little park.

Drinking Fountains.

Three weeks ago our class has been doing a project on R.P.S Drinking Fountains because the state of them are not nice.

So our group, Brandon, Jamie, Kawa and Saiasi have done a project about our gross drinking fountains at our school.

We did a survey on behalf of the school and none of the people would drink out of the fountains. People said to get a water cooler in our survey and that is what happend. Thank you

Sasori out!!!!!! : ]
