On Wednesday, 1st September, we enter Alert Level 3. We hope that you have been able to adjust to the different challenges of lockdown and that you have had opportunities to enjoy the very special moments of family time.
As a school, we have made the decision to join many schools across New Zealand in having a Wellbeing Wednesday. On this day, there will be no new digital learning set.
This will be a day away from more formal digital learning. Students will have an opportunity to learn offline and engage in a range of non-digital activities. They might be tasks that your children would like to do together or alone, or they might want to do something else entirely. Suggested activities will be posted on the class blogs.
This day is an opportunity to support students and teachers well-being. It is a time to recognise and focus on emotional wellbeing in these challenging situations. We can all do this by providing opportunities to connect, be active, notice, keep learning and give.
Staff will use this time for marking work and to prepare and organise resources for the next few weeks of online working ahead.
An example of what you could do at this time.
