Being a Kingdom Kid

We have a special wall in Room 10 where we put lots of ideas to help us think about what Kingdom Kids do.   Here is a photo:

We talked about each part and why it should be on our wall:

• The 2 questions at the top help us to think about what we should do - What makes God smile?  What do we do in God's family?  When we ask ourselves these questions, it helps us make the right choices.

• The Fruit of the Spirit remind us what God says in the Bible - we should have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in our lives!

• The Armour of God reminds us to stand strong no matter what is happening around us.  Kia kaha!

• Golden Manners are SO important.  Speaking kindly and thoughtfully to others makes life so much better each day!

• We even have pictures of our school uniform on the wall because we think that "Kingdom Kids choose to wear the right uniform."  Awesome thinking, Petra!

• WRT - we learnt about this last year from one of our amazing mums.  When you have a problem you can Walk away, Relax and then later you can Talk about it with someone who can help you.  Doesn't that remind you of the Fruit of the Spirit?  Peace and self-control!

• Aroha team have all learnt a saying from Room 9's super teacher - Be in the right place...at the right time...doing the right thing.  That's what Kingdom Kids do!

• Lastly we have our 3 special school values - Respect, Trust (Integrity) and Responsibility.  If we can understand these and live by them, everything else seems to happen too!
