Hukanui Marae Trip 2018

 Can you share with somebody what it happening in each of these photos? What marae protocol are we following? What else happened while we were there?

Survival water skills.

As part of our 'Find your Field of Dreams' sponsored swimming lessons, all classes learned about water survival. 
The instructors taught them how to get into huddles in the water to keep safe, how to fall safely in to deep water and how life jackets protect us. 

Mindfulness

Every day after lunch and hui (team talk), Kea Hub moves into Room 8 to practice mindfulness to help us to settle into the afternoon with more focus. We sit and practice our breathing and listening to the things around us. Before we start any practice we sit with a straight back and a soft belly. We can choose to close our eyes or look at a spot on the wall. We are learning to be more focused and for some of us, being mindful helps us to be ready for our mahi.
