Hauora - physical health and wellbeing

This term we have a new inquiry topic which is Hauora - physical health and wellbeing. We have been embracing this by doing optional sitting in silence after morning tea. As well as that we wrote four quick writes about our physical well being, mental well being, social well being and spiritual wellbeing.

Here is one of the quick writes that I wrote about Taha tinana - physical wellbeing:

One of the ways I look after my taha tinana is going surfing. On a crisp morning I love walking across the road and enjoying the fresh, salty, sea, catching lots of waves. The feeling of riding up and down is enchanting. Then, I dive off my board into the glistening water. 

Another way I look after my taha tinana is playing football. Practising about three times a week and playing with my team, winning all our games. Time after time I enjoy tapping the ball into the back of the net.

As well as soccer and surfing I also look after my taha tinana by going to taekwondo once a week. I enjoy it even more when my friends are there too. Taekwondo also helps with football because we do lots of kicking. I might even be a black belt one day!
