Yes, loving that way of starting the day!! What a commitment. 

My day starts a bit more sedately with a 'brain up' meditation led by our Kaitiaki student for the day, followed by a whakatauki. Some days it goes really well, other days it's a mission to get anyone to sit still for more than a second.  

All will change next week when we will start some of the boys off with half an hour of boot camp (I have 15 boys to 9 girls, and they are energetic). Thanks John for starting the ball rolling on that. I'm excited to see what difference this makes. Also I will be tailoring my programme to a more 'boy friendly' one. That is my job for the weekend, to work out what that means in practice for my 5 & 6 yr olds, and get some plans in place. Anyone got any ideas to share?

I really enjoyed being in your class Kathryn. I guess thats the nature of some of the students we teach its great that you can identify and adjust things so that they fit with needs. Well done and once again many thanks  John

  1. Kathryn, do you use Go Noodle? If you don't I highly recommend it! I had a boy heavy class in 2015 (and again now) and it is great! It's free! Best put on a big screen, tv, projector etc
