Gumboot Friday
Hi all, It’s me again, and I am doing a blog post about Gumboot Friday. Gumboot Friday is afriday day that everyone in New Zealand wears Gumboot to raise awareness for Mental health. Sometimes when you are in times that you have bad thoughts and it is like you are in the mud, that’s why they choose Gumboots. The Mental Health means the state of someone who is at a level of emotion and behaviour that they think bad about themselves, so they have to think about positive things about themselves. The Gumboot day was on Friday the 5 of April, and we had so much fun on that Friday. We made cards with positive words for people so they will be overjoyed when people see it. The Idea came from the Healthy Puketapapa Students Questionnaire, so… 30 students were chosen to give their Ideas about what should we do. One of the students Idea was to put the cards in the letterboxes and it was a great Idea. There were teachers and adults that helped to put the cards in the letterboxes and we went on groups, and I was on the same group with my BFF (Aamena). We did all of this in Inquiry and we were explaining about the Hauora Wellbeing and it was about that if you feel well you will be healthy and if you don’t feel good you will not have a good health. I think it was a good Idea to do this because some people are feeling sad and if they see our cards and words it will make them really happy. It was fun too!
Bye Bye Bye😇
