And what an awesome write up! #WSPN i.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/3005…

One of my favorite games to teach the fundamentals of #volleyball is Fukahara. Take out the most difficult part of the game and watch the learning happen. #TGfU #TISMacao

Our school is moving towards an inclusive, fun focussed version of Cross Country this year and are looking for practical but engaging obstacles/stations that have worked for other schools. Post below if you have any! #physed #PENZ #PE #HPE #NZHPE #crosscountry

I've been taking my more hesitant bunch for some Movewell invasion games lately, starting with Corner ball. Some as recently as last term would opt out of any physical activity entirely, but now their engagement has been phenomenal! #hpe #physed #PENZ #movewell #WSPN #lovetomove

Come join the team! Amazing opportunity at an amazing, future focused school! #ESPN gazette.education.govt.nz/vacancies/1HAU…

Amazing read! Ka mau te wehi Amy Kaukau (nee Mikkelson) !

Ngā mihi to those that gave up their time to come to my webinar today! Some really great conversations were had about developing local Health & PE curriculums with purpose! Webinar slides will be available soon! #PENZ #physed #HPE #NZHPE #WSPN #curriculum #healthyactivelearning

Celebrating our southern hemisphere #microblog educators. "While I don’t lay claim to a complete understanding of Ubuntu, I have been doing my best to use it to guide my thinking as a wellbeing practitioner in an educational environment." slowchathealth.com/2021/05/21/ubu… by Pou Tom (HPE & CC)

Mātau atu, Mātau mai! Truly humbled by the turnout today. While Covid dampened our chances for a second annual Ngā Taonga Tākaro festival, Mark and I were fortunate enough to provide some traditional Māori games PD to some amazing, dedicated kaiako! #wspn #PENZ #ngātaongatākaro

Just sneaking in at the end of #microblog month!

You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can give them nothing.

Another great #movewell invasion game, plenty of room for adaptation and (as always) accessible to all learners! #PENZ #WSPN #physed #HPE #physicaleducation #NZHPE

With a much needed shift in the way schools view Cross Country events, it serves as a good reminder that some students do enjoy the traditional event. Just make sure you provide CHOICE! Proud of my kura and our shift to a more inclusive model of event, bring on the colour run!

Slides from my recent online workshop: Finding Tau are now up! (link below) It was awesome speaking on local HPE curriculum building. Still plenty of amazing upcoming webinars in the Growing Connections and Confidence series! nzptc.com/wp-content/upl… #WSPN #PENZ #physed #health

Here is the "Finding Tau" recording link to go with the slides I shared the other day. Painful experience as always watching yourself, but I liken it to watching game tape! Looking forward to my next webinar, hopefully a few less "um's" and "ya know's"! youtube.com/watch?v=hHfi1z…

Attendance: Massively up compared to traditional cross country days. Engagement: Through the roof, overwhelmingly positive feedback from kids and community. Movement: Diverse and enjoyed! Huge shoutout to the #WSPN staff for being agents of change in supporting this kaupapa!

After a huge fundraising drive, long discussions and planning meetings with too many engineering firms to count, we finally have our hoops! Photos taken before the mob of keen young ballers arrived! #wspn #ballislife

During our Matariki celebrations, we took some lucky kids out for some traditional Māori games. Intermediate ākonga did so well coaching them! #WSPN #ngātaongatākaro #Māorigames #physed #PENZ #HPE

Congratulations to our Super 6 Champions!
