How to Be a YMS HERO

This term we have been revisiting what it we have learned about being a YMS HERO. 

We have been watching some fun videos with important messages - thank you Sesame Street!

'Superman' and Elmo taught us about respect, this is part of the 'R' in HERO -  being responsible and respectful.: 

While we made ourselves pink t-shirts for Pink Shirt day ...

we talked about what it means to stand up for others,  when and how to be brave and do the right thing. We also discovered that people who bully often don't not feel good about themselves. 

So we have been thinking about ourselves and how amazing we are.  When we have finished this work we will post it too.

This is our whakatauki from Week 2.

We are small but we are treasures with lots of talents. 

Week 3's whakatauki was all bout the 'O' in HERO - being Open-minded, keeping on going even when it gets hard, which we thought would be really important on Friday for Athletics. 

This Hikoi happened in October 1975.

We could also remember this when trying to be an Enthusiastic Learner.  

When we learn something new it can be hard and frustrating.  

We need to remember to keep trying, keep going and not give up!

What is something you have found hard to do but you kept on going and were successful?
