Kindness and Kaitiakitanga...

Oat the goat
Oat the Goat is an interactive, online story book, which aims to teach children about empathy, acceptance and tolerance.  Designed to help students of all ages learn about the power of kindness, this engaging bullying prevention resource encourages children to make the right decision through a positive interactive experience with their parents, whānau, family, teacher or peers.  The exciting story follows Oat the Goat as he embarks upon the adventure of his life through native, animated New Zealand landscapes. Along the way, he meets some surprising new friends – a curious creature called Amos, a little green glow worm that lights up with love and a group of woolly bullies.  The music, featuring the symphonic sounds of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra alongside traditional Māori instruments taonga pūoro, and eye-catching animation brings the story to life.  Available to read, in both te reo Māori and English, Oat the Goat helps you talk to your students about the choices they have when they see someone being bullied – Should they laugh? Ignore them? Or include and be kind to them? You don’t need to use the word ‘bullying’ to teach skills that will prevent unkind behaviour. The focus in Oat the Goat is on learning how to get on with each other.

  What have you done today to be kind...
to yourself, to others, to someone you do not know?
