Akeake Tennis Hot Shots

On Thursday all the children in Akeake had some tennis coaching.  

We had heaps of fun learning some new skills and it was great to see the children being brave 

and trying something new.  Well done to all out tamariki who had a go!

TENNIS HOT SHOTS is a world class tennis programme for 3-12year olds.  It is a safe, fun way to get into tennis.  

Children are encouraged to work together or independently on tasks to learn the game of tennis - how to serve, rally and score.

Sun Smart - Our Skin!

In Akeake, we are learning about how to be smart in the sun. The first thing we had to do was some learning about our skin. We had to use red, brown, yellow and white paint to create some natural-looking skin tones. Our biggest challenge was trying to recreate our own skin tone! Once we had our colours, we fingerprinted them onto a tree template. Then we reflected on how everyone's skin tone is slightly different, but that doesn't change how we treat them.
