On Wednesday, Ruma Wha walked to Hokowhitu Kindergarten. Xavier's friends were really excited to see him. We enjoyed playing with the children at the kindergarten. They had lots of fun things for us to play with.
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 were lucky to have Tim and Harold here from the Life Education Trust come to Hokowhitu School to talk to us about being a good friend and being resilient. Being resilient mens to bounce back after disappointment. We were also taught about our special our bodies are and that there is nobody else like ourselves.
