Different ways of Entering Points
With tamariki at different ages and stages with tech use and access to devices themselves, the way you choose to enter points is flexible and you can do it differently at any time during the program too.
This video explains the variations and you will find it on the data entry page when you login to enter points too.
The key thing to remember with points is; if you are using the “entering class data” option it is always an average of the total class steps on a day so that all teams, regardless of size, can compete equally!

Helping Your Amazing Brain and Body
Every moment of every day, your amazing / miharo body / tinana and brain / roro perform BILLIONS of jobs, without you even asking! There are lots of little things that you can do to help, and if you "listen" carefully, they will let you know when it is needed.
e.g
-
when you feel tired / ngenge, perhaps a drink of water / wai would help, or a snack or some fresh air / hauhau,
-
when you feel a bit anxious or cranky, perhaps moving your body is needed...dance, jump on the spot or go outside for a run / rere around.
Managing Leisure Screen Time
Technology is really helpful in many ways, but time can rush away really quickly when we are looking at a screen, and we don't even notice. And it doesn't help our amazing body and brain very much either.
There are so many other activities that we can do that are fun and help our amazing brain and body do the billions of jobs every moment of the day (and night).
So set yourself a time limit, then put your device away and do something else! What is something new you could learn this week instead?
Sleep Really Well
We need a good night of sleep / moe to help our amazing / miharo body / tinana and brain / roro to do the billions of jobs it does, every moment!
Sleep / moe is when we grow new cells, clean out old ones, tidy up all our thoughts / whakaaro and learning / akoranga to file them away for the new day ahead.
Make a plan to get a good night of sleep / moe!

Move Your Body Regularly
Our mīharo / amazing body / tinana and brain / roro loves it when we move! You literally grow new brain cells when you are physically active, so when you move, you get smarter!
If you are feeling a bit tired / ngenge or can't concentrate, even a few minutes of movement / kori will help your amazing brain and body to feel better!
We know how important it is to sleep / moe well too, so taking a short walk / hikoi before bed / moenga will help you have a good night of sleep / moe too.
How many steps.......
You don't need a pedometer to work out how many steps you take, especially if you know how many steps it is to and from places you walk to regularly during your day.
Print out and laminate the footprints / tapuwae, then count out some of your most often walked places. Place the footprints / tapuwae around your kura, or use chalk to draw your footprints and record how many steps it takes from one place to another e.g
-
from the front gate at kura to your classroom / akomanga,
-
from your classroom / akomanga to the hall or field / papa tākaro,
-
from your front gate at kura to your letterbox at home.
You can do this at home too:
-
from your front door at home to your bedroom,
-
around the back garden,
-
around the house.
Or you could make "signposts" to put up around your kura, so that everyone who visits can check out how many steps they have done to help take care of their amazing brain and body!
How many steps a day are we aiming for?
There is no magic number - the best approach is to see how many you do at the moment, and if you need to, aim for some more.
t's recommended that we all get 60 minutes of activity per day, which equates to roughly 8,000 - 10,000 steps. If you can't reach that many, try to do what you can and increase it by a few hundred steps a day if you can.

Start each day with a little movement
Movement is like a "reset button" helping children transition from home to school, from sleepy to alert, and from distracted to engaged.
Teacher Top Tip
"Start the day with a 3-5 minute “Morning Moves” session. We do a combo of moves like a stretch up and shake down, star jumps, hopping in a circle and balancing on one leg. You can finish it off with a grateful thought, a deep, slow breathe or some other “sign-off” that students may find useful at other times during the day. It’s a great way to get everyone ready to learn and has been an absolute game-changer for morning moods and focus…for all of us! I have continued to do it with my students even when the program isn't on”
For all children, especially for neurodiverse learners—starting the day with purposeful movement supports calm, alert, and ready-to-learn bodies and minds.
So here are a few idea's to get you started!
I know you and your akonga will love to create your own too! We'd love you to share them with us all at Planet Wellbeing TV.
