Peace Week

Peace Week

 

At the beginning of term 3 was peace week. This was an important week to focus on the meaning of peace and what we can do to make sure we all live in Peace. Heaps of classes did Peace activities during class time. The Mediators also ran lunchtime activities promoting Peace, eg making paper cranes. It was also celebrated at Whanau time on Friday. Te Waka whanau talked about Peace and then wrote a peace message on a dove or heart. These were then displayed on a large Dove shape.

Electricity guest speaker

                                                     Electricity speaker

On Thursday the 1st of August 2013, the fantastic Wellington electricity crew came to Kapanui school to talk about how to be safe with electricity. This was part of the Inquirers Syndicate "It's Electrifying" unit.
EG: don't touch transformer posts. If you touch it too close, it can be strong enough to get you seriously injured for a life, be in hospital or even kill you!!!
Electricity travels everywhere, through power points to transformers to power lines to homes.
This is an experiance for everyone to do.
