Positive Purpose is part of our Positive Education curriculum, and Tautoru year threes have been dialling up their Leadership while learning how to "do good to feel good". Science research (Froh et al., 2010 and Post, 2005) shows that altruism and doing acts of kindness benefits our physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as teaches us to contribute to our community in positive ways.
As part of showing Manaakitanga and Positive Purpose, Year 3s in Tautoru have been teaching playtime games to year twos and ones so that they can join in games, too. They've taught games like The Floor is Lava, Fruit Salad, Fishy Swim, Lava Monster, and Duck, Duck, Goose.
Now everyone can join in different games! We are very proud of how kind and supportive our year threes have been to their younger peers by showing so much Manaakitanga. They have also now chosen different Positive Purpose projects to finish their time in Tautoru with strong Leadership skills. Ka rawe koutou!
