Room 18 loving the dance workshops with Maeling

BRING ON TREMENDOUS TUESDAY 
@ SRS!

It was TOE TAPPING TUESDAY today....

Check out Room 13s & Room 8s blogs to see dance with the University of Auckland Dance students and read about the students reflections.

I decided to follow Rm 18 through their ARTS rotation and found them in the hall doing drama and showing off their talents at "improvising" "frames" & "open scripts".

After-school I checked out our budding All Blacks getting Rippa Rugby training for the next 6 weeks... 

and POW - BANG look at this fabulous addition to the school and our new eco-system the students set up from last terms topic inquiry question.

I found Rm 18 totally engrossed

in their art workshop with

Mr Meadows.

 What will Wednesday bring?
I discovered stunning, clever & keen artists through out the school today....take a look at our talented we are....

Ever tried doing a self-portraint

with your LEFT hand?

 Year 7s did very clever stuff with in-organic treasures while on their art adventure to Corbans Estate Art Centre.

Both teachers and students returned absolutely  inspired by the people they met, things they saw and works they completed.......thanks!

...and then I stumbled across these Mighty Middle Schoolers.....stenciling new signs around our drains to remind us that what goes down here....goes to our sea!!

Congratulations room 14 for being kaitiaki.

Its Thursday and I'm off to the league field day with the Y7 & 8 boys team and Charlie......

Great day..... so very proud of the team and how they played with heart, fair-play and skills... AND how they represented us as Stanhope - Congrats!

ROCKing and ROLLing SRS STAFF

During the holidays the SRS staff spend the day together learning about being strong, calm and focused.

We learn't how to stand strong so other people can lean on us, we can support others without loosing our balance....and so people can't push us over.

We developed strategies to be centered & strong in a push-pull situation.... 

We can focus on what WE are doing, feeling how WE choose react in situations that may upset us.

We discussed how this type of learning can contribute to the SRS social curriculum.

Through-out this term the Team Leaders will be leading a review on the SRS behavioural management plan and our social curriculum.

SUMMER COURTYARD MUSIC RECITAL - TERM 1

Our budding young musicians treat us to lovely music during a lunchtime in our sunny courtyard.

Term 1 - Brighten up Day - another fun event brought to you by the School Event Managers.
