We were very lucky with the weather to be able to have our swimming carnival last week. TKW and TKP showed off their swimming skills to their parents and whanau. Thank you for coming to share our special day with us.
We were able to practise our basketball skills on the court today because it wasn't raining. We practised our dribbling, bouncing, passing and catching. Miles showed us how to do chest passes. We needed to hold the ball on each side with our thumbs pointing up. When we pass the ball, our hands needed to turn so our thumbs pointed down. We try hard to catch the ball with 2 hands.
Ruma Toru and Wha have been reading the Mud Walk big book by Joy Cowley. We decided to go on a mud walk of our own on the last day of term. Unfortunately the Palmerston North weather let us down. We hadn't had any rain for a while - very unusual!! So we decided to go on a bear hunt instead! We went down to the forrest to see what we could see. We had so much fun, exploring, wondering and observing. What a great activity to do on the last day of term.
We have based our maths over the last few weeks on Teddy Bears. We have sorted teddies, counted teddies, graphed teddies, added and subtracted with teddies, completed our basic facts with teddies and positioned teddies! Wow!!! So on Friday we decided to have a teddy bear day. We brought our teddies to school and had four fun activities in Ruma Tahi, Rua, Toru and Wha. At lunchtime, we meet up in the hall to show off our teddies and to have a teddy bears picnic.
