We are really lucky to have Sarah from Tennis Southland coming to school this term to teach us some tennis skills. We started with throwing and catching the tennis ball. We also used cones to catch the ball as we will use the same action later in our lessons to hit the ball with a tennis racket. Everyone had heaps of fun and Sarah said the children had some great ball skills.
We were very luck to have Tigger the lamb come and visit us. Mrs Allen has had Tigger for one week. He left lots of little puddles around the classroom but we all had fun and did some great writing using lots of describing words. Some lucky kids got to feed Tigger and other children had him out to play at lunch time. Thank you Mrs Allen!
We had a great 2 weeks of swimming and learnt alot of new skills. It was fantastic to see the childrens skills improve and their confidence grow.
Wow everyone looked amazing. There were so many cool hairstyles. I was amazed by the creativity! Congratulations to Sandy for winning the Hairspray tickets.
We are very lucky to have a coach come out and teach us some amazing rugby skills. There was some great catching, throwing and kicking happening. We can't wait to have our next session.
As part of our water study we investigated what happens when a cloud is full? We used water in a cup to represent air, shaving foam for the cloud and blue dye for water. We found out that when the water evaporates back up to the clouds they condense and became very full and heavy. When the cloud can hold no more water it bursts open and we have rain or as we like to call it in room 2 precipitation! The children are finding out some wonderful information through investigating.
