Christchurch Support

On Friday 25th February Balmoral School organised a fundraiser in support of those affected by the Christchurch earthquakes.

We donated coins and notes for the cause and also showed our respect and support by dressing in black and red - the Canterbbury colours.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Our Mihi

Room 18 are learning about the importance of culture and heritage. We have begun to learn about Maori introductions and children have needed to work with their families to find out more information about their own history and ancestors.

Room 18 - HERE IS COPY OF THE MIHI IF YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN.

Our 'The Leader in the front, the followers behind' discussion is really interesting.

To our overseas viewers - please post to us in our introduction section two entries down. We love seeing where people have come from on our feedjit, but would really love to hear from you. We have noticed Kansas, Dubai and Michigan recently... Please drop us a note.

Keep posting Room 18!

The leader in the front, the followers behind.

Ko te amorangi ki mua,

Ko te hapai o ki muri.

The Leader in the front,

the Followers behind.

This is a continuation of our rich task focus and our philosophy focus.

There may be some of you who agree, or disagree with the Maori proverb, but just like any philosophical discussion, you will need to explain your reasoning behind your response and you must also refer to, discuss or challenge another poster’s point of view.

State whether you agree? Why? Do you disagree? Why? Ask questions and explore this proverb.
