Each week at Upper Harbour Primary School we introduce a new ‘craze’ game to play at playtimes at lunchtimes. The equipment is put out for a week and then the following week a brand new ‘craze’ is introduced. We’ve had all sorts of ‘craze’ equipment out so far, including hula hoops, frisbees, skipping ropes, gutter boards, hacky sacks……
Here’s your chance to suggest a ‘craze’ we could have in Term Three. What do you reckon?
Last term, we had ‘Principal For A Day’ on our BLOG and we ended up on the front page of the newspaper and on Campbell Live on TV3!!!!
This time, think carefully about what you would do if you were the teacher of your class for a day………
We have physical activity time every week at Upper Harbour Primary School. So far we have started the day at 8.50am with Jump Jam, Circuit Express and Jump Rope.
What ideas do you have for us for Term Three?
Remember, it needs to be something that a lot of us can do at once and we can’t use the grassed areas during Winter.
The Olympic Games start in China on the 8th August 2008 (08/08/08).
Tell us who your favourite Olympic hero is and why. What is your favourite sport at the Olympic Games?
Imagine you were representing NZ in the Olympic Games in the future. What sport would it be in?
Our wonderful Student Council have organised several events over the past two years. They have included:
Upper Harbour Idol (singing/lip sync competition)
So You Think You Can Dance, UHPS! (dancing competition)
Walk To School Week
For this BLOG, tell us your ideas for future events that you would like your Student Council to organise.
Hi everyone
Every term we have GPK Days to celebrate all the great choices people have made in keeping to our school rules and values. At Upper Harbour, GPK stands for Growing Positive Kiwis.
In the past we have had GPK Days including Water Mania, Movie Time, Pyjama Day, Tabloid Sports, Board Games Day, Wheels Day and more.
On this BLOG, tell us all…………….
What has been your favourite GPK Day so far and why?
What ideas do you have for the next GPK Day?
So many fantastic poems have been written by Upper Harbour pupils that we thought we’d give a chance for budding poets to publish their poetry online. Simply retype your poem here and the world will see it on our Blog.
All poems remain the property of the writers and may not reproduced without their permission.
Hi everyone
This BLOG is for children and parents to add to. We have just updated our school lunch menu with the new Food & Beverage Classifications. It means we can only sell healthier food items for school lunches.
The New Zealand Food and Beverage Classification System is based on a three-tiered approach, identifying foods and beverages that can be eaten:
• EVERY DAY: appropriate for everyday consumption and to be promoted;
• SOMETIMES: for restricted provision by schools (for example, restricted serving size);
• OCCASIONALLY: not for provision (through sale or otherwise) by schools (other than for exceptional events).
Our school lunch menu now clearly indicates items in the EVERY DAY and SOMETIMES category. Any items that are deep fried fall into the OCCASIONALLY category and are therefore not allowed to be sold at school.
Do you have some YUMMY ideas of things we could add to our menu? Please add them to our BLOG.
Time to put your thinking cap on about our School Rules……..
BE A SUPER SCOUT!
If it was your job to be a Super Scout and ‘catch’ people doing the right thing by ‘Looking After Others’, what would you look for? What does “Looking After Others’ mean to you?
Hi there! Thank you for coming back to our Blog. If you have added comments to our last few Blog topics, we are proud of you!
Now, for something really different……..
WHAT WILL SCHOOL BE LIKE IN 100 YEARS?
Use your imagination and think about what school might be like in 100 years from now. How will children learn things in the future? Will schools exist? Will teachers exist? What things would people need to learn?
Be creative. Go crazy with ideas!
