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.
We were very lucky that the rain moved on and that we were able to participate in the Hokowhitu Games for the last day of Term 1. We wore our school house colours with pride and were able to compete in some fun games such as chuck the chicken, bucket tipping and flag races. What a fun way to end the term!
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.
