Walking School Bus
Currently we have 1 Walking School Bus ‘up & walking’ in the Rosario Cres area. Thank you to those parents who are running this WSB, a great start to the year!
If you are keen to join a Walking School Bus and/or you would like to set up a walking school bus in your area please contact our go-to parent - Sarah Delaney sarah@avenuehair.co.nz or our Travelwise lead-teacher, Ms. Hedstrom annah@redbeach.school.nz.
There are some cool little incentives for the kids when they walk. They have little bus tickets that they click each time they walk, which leads to prizes. It’s a great initiative and a great way to connect with other families who are living close by.
Year 0/1
Year 1 gather together several times a week as a year group to participate in different learning opportunities.
During ‘Collaborative Play’ we work on using our RICH Hearts and working with and alongside others. At our ‘Singing Assembly’ we celebrate learning across the team as well as learning school waiata so that we can participate in school events such as the whakatau.
Years 2 & 3
Class Treaty
As part of the New Zealand Histories Curriculum, the Year 2/3 team studied the Treaty of Waitangi and its historical and cultural significance. Following this, we engaged students in creating their own Class Treaty, fostering a deeper understanding of its principles and applying them to their classroom community.
Years 4 & 5
This term we have an inquiry focus on Hauora (Health & Wellbeing).
Students have loved the Life Ed Caravan and they have begun identifying the four pillars of Te Whare Tapa Whā - Taha Tinana (Physical), Taha Wairua (Spiritual), Taha Hinengaro (Mental/Emotional), and Taha Whānau (Social/Family). Check out what we have been up to so far this term.
Room 24 Team Building Challenge.
Room 17 Enjoying a mindful looking exercise following different bubbles on the screen.
Year 6
Wow, what a blast the year 6’s have had on our first 2 weeks at school this year. Not only have we started our last year at Red Beach, we have also begun our leadership roles which include PE Shed, Discovery Hub leader, Road Patrol, and MUCH more. These roles are teaching us responsibilities and consistency. Watch us grow!
