Some children created role plays showing kindness, while others got creative and made cards, posters or cooked items to share. We also worked on identifying what was special about our peers and paying compliments to others. Showing we care for ourselves and others is a key part of Beckenham Te Kura, and it is important for our wellbeing, or hauora.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-z7ZHtYYn2yI\/XR6uifmcF_I\/AAAAAAAAD7c\/J_IBMrZrZp8PfR_ySLUpVx35lsVf659yQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/We%2Bcare%2B1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-z7ZHtYYn2yI\/XR6uifmcF_I\/AAAAAAAAD7c\/J_IBMrZrZp8PfR_ySLUpVx35lsVf659yQCLcBGAs\/s640\/We%2Bcare%2B1.JPG\" width=\"480\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Collecting rubbish around the school<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>ICAS<\/h4>\n<p>For those of you who have yet to register for ICAS here is the link again:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfy-U1jPz6OBXOZPZXcZjh4KYfKwNY2lxW-pvXDvHHXPsPsHw\/viewform\">ICAS Student Registration 2019<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Sports News<\/h2>\n<h4>Hillview Cross Country Challenge&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>On Tuesday 2nd July, approximately 30 children from Y0 &#8211; 4 went to compete in the Hillview Cross Country Challenge. There were over 380 students from 17 different schools competing on the day and we were spoilt with the wonderful weather. The children confidently demonstrated our school value, &lsquo;We Love Challenge&rsquo; in the way they all did their personal best and it was great to see them encouraging and supporting each other as they raced. Thank you to all the parents who assisted on the day by walking down and supporting the children when they were not competing. our recent invite to Hillview Cross-country went spectacularly! Out of the 30 runners who went from our school many of them placed in the top 10-12 out of approximately 45 &#8211; 50+ other runners for each grade!<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-r4K7OGEBD3c\/XR6wQy2-hEI\/AAAAAAAAD7o\/g5HwwvZ_Tz4CgcqjwsPJH5WDJ1ycScYzgCLcBGAs\/s1600\/cross%2Bcountry%2B1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Junior girl's lining up to start cross country\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-r4K7OGEBD3c\/XR6wQy2-hEI\/AAAAAAAAD7o\/g5HwwvZ_Tz4CgcqjwsPJH5WDJ1ycScYzgCLcBGAs\/s640\/cross%2Bcountry%2B1.JPG\" title=\"Junior girl's lining up to start cross country\" width=\"640\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Getting ready for the start&nbsp;<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Jade Inglis&nbsp; 4th Year 4 girls<br \/>Cammie Inglis&nbsp; 7th Year 3 girls<br \/>Bonnie Hopkinson 11th Year 3 girls<br \/>Holly McIntosh 12th Year 3 girls<br \/>Ollie Breitmeyer&nbsp; 6th Year 3 boys<br \/>Spencer Ingram 10th Year 3 boys<br \/>Finn Breitmeyer 11th Year 3 boys<br \/>Isla Mitchell 8th Year 2 in girls<br \/>Eadie Jenkins 10th Year 2 in girls<br \/>Ollie Karst 9th Year 2 boys<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the parent helpers on the day.
