Walking the Length of NZ

How Many Steps?

We have been very fortunate to be involved in a some cool learning experiences that have been designed by School Kit. Earlier in the year it was Get NZ Writing and in Term 3, we participated in a Mystery Hangout with Pitt Island School.  

Towards the end of Term 3, we began another kit called, Walking the Length of New Zealand.  This kit has a health and mathematics component which has encouraged us to think about how we can use different types of activity to increase our daily steps.  Now that we have measured our step, tested different step apps, recorded steps around areas of our school and calculated the average kilometer walked on a day; we are ready to invite our family community to 'step out' with us on Friday of week 3 to 'Walk the Length of New Zealand'.

5Star Marathoners

I spy with my little eye, 3 awesome 5Star athletes.  Can you see Sophie, Raymond and Lucas?  

Along with other Sunnyhills learners, they have been meeting up with Mrs Nelson each week to run 2kms - with the final 2kms to run today at the Auckland Marathon. 

With tension building and eyes focused on the road ahead - all the weeks of training became reality when "parp!" The horn sounded and they were off.
