Kia Kaha with Constable Debbie 9.3.16

For Inquiry this term we have been doing a unit called "Kia Kaha". Kia Kaha means to be strong. 
We have been getting to know each other and learning that we are all special. There are a lot of things that make us special including, how we look, our families and the things we like. We have also been learning how to be safe at school and in our community.
On Wednesday Constable Debbie came to talk to us about bullying.
Bullying is hurtful and may hurt somebodies body or their feelings. They keep doing it and it is NOT OK!

One thing we can do if someone is bothering us is use our WITS. 
W- walk away
I- ignore
T- talk it out
S- seek help

Constable Debbie went through this with us.

On the playground we can seek help from
-Duty Teacher (bright yellow vest)
-Peer Mediators (bright orange vest) -the Peer Mediators are big kids in the school who can help us.

We read a story which was about a girl who had been kicked. She was sad and her friend helped look after her. The girl went and told the teacher and she helped her to solve the problem in a fair way. 

 We had to try put the story into order.



Another story we read was "Milly, Molly and Pennyroyal". It taught us that is doesn't matter who is in the front, back or middle of the line when we line up. We are all going to the same place and will arrive together.
