It’s that week again!

Ahiahi pai koutou, Welcome to Wiki 4. Room 11 were our hosts today - a big ngā mihi to Maia & Ethan for taking charge:) This afternoon at Monday Message we looked into Kaitiakitanga - specifically looking after our kura, our trees, plants & our worms too! Thanks Garden to Table for helping us learn more about our SRP environment. Mr Price issued us all with a wero to be SRP kaitiakitanga together and make our kura even better! To round off Road Safety Week from last week today we recognised our stand out colouring contestants and rewarded 8 awesome Road safety superheroes the 'Gotcha' certificates. Last but definitely not least we acknowledged our Bookmark award winners for soaring high and extending their manawa, kete & whakaaro - mahi whakamiharo. Kia pai tō wiki. Maanaki whenua Maanaki tangata Haere whakamua

Ahiahi pai koutou, Te Wiki Haumaru Rori / Road Safety Week. What an awesome sunny yellow day we have had at SRP today! Well done to all those who dressed up with yellow hair today to show support for all our Road Safety Heroes - we appreciate them all! 3 of our classes took part in a special visit from Brake the Road - all about road safety. We were lucky to have some key people come in and talk with us all about a range of road safety areas from planning, to organising, road traffic and making road works safe too! A huge ngā mihi to: our very own Jolene from Travel Safe, Alex & Myles from BECA (engineers who plan, design & make roads), Yvonne & Anthony from NZ Transport Agency / Waka Kotahi and Linden, Baedyn, Toia & Kendra from HEB Traffic Management. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about different roles in Road Safety, getting active with using a traffic stop/go on our cycle track and the hands on mahi learning about the in's and out's of a traffic safety vehicle - tino hauhautanga! We all play an important role in keeping our ākonga safe on and around the roads! #RoadSafetyWeek #roadsafetyhero

We have had a fantastic start to Week 3 at SRP. We started off yesterday at our Monday Message introducing Road Safety Week - Ngā mihi to our 3 road safety heroes, Emily, Mylee & Mila - from our travel safe team. They shared our SRP competitions & challenges for this week. We are especially looking forward to our 'Yellow Hair Day' tomorrow:) Congratulations to our top Wednesday Challenge classes who both achieved 100% active travel - ka rawe tō mahi! And to finish off a great hui we celebrated our weekly Bookmark award winners. We love seeing all the amazing mahi, outstanding SRP values and sharing how our ākonga are soaring high within and across the curriculum.
