We are learning all about Panekiretanga (excellence) as our value this term. We can show excellence in our learning and in our play. We can show excellence at school and at home... we can show excellence anywhere!

We think excellence is:

• Giving it your your best shot and never giving up
• If you don’t succeed, try and try again
• Keep on practising
• Do some thinking, then ask for help when you don’t know what to do
• We all have our own excellence, and it can be different for different things

• We need to encourage others – we show excellence in the way we talk.
• We use our manners and share, including other people in our games – we show excellence in our play

WALT: show Panekiretanga (excellence) in our learning. 

Task

Show excellence in the classroom:

1. Using the discovery equipment explore, experiment and try something new. 



We love to try all the discovery activities and work
together to play collaboratively.

2. During buddy time work as a team to complete the T-shirt collage with no gaps, thumb size pieces of paper.

3. Use your i-time card and follow during maths. Give every activity your best shot and don't give up!

We practise our learning with the teacher and by ourselves.
We never give up!

Success Criteria:

• I tried my very best
• I kept on practising even when it was tricky
• I encouraged others (excellence in my talk)
• I used my manners, shared and I included other people in my games (excellence in my play)

Reflection

I really like: that I help people when there hurt because they will want to be my friend

I think I need to practice: useing my manners because I don't ask

Something that really helped me was: toby helped me because when I fell over he helped me

Remember excellence is all about trying your very best and not giving up, even when it is super hard. You show excellence outside during sport, you keep on going and you give it your all - I know you want to win. When we come back inside I would love to see some more of that! Your next learning step is to stick with the tricky learning when you are woking by youself just like do when you are in the group.
