Week 1 Term 3 100 Days of School!

This week we continued practicing our fundamental skills by working on our overarm throw. We loved the new human target game that Jane taught us!

Much of our week was spent celebrating 100 days of school. We had a special poem with 100 words..take a look at us performing this as a team.

In ICT we used the Age My Face app to think about what we might look like when we were 100...warning, some scary pictures in this slide show......

With our Room 5 buddies we made a giant, human 100.....

......and of course Discovery Time was full of 100 themed exploration as well as some amazing parachute designs.

In the last week of Term 2 we had a special treat when Fin''s Opa read us 2 stories. The first was was in the class with us on Monday.....

.........and the second one was by Skype on Thursday after he had returned to the North Island. Thank you so much Opa for providing this great experience for us and I hope we can do it again in Term 3 when we get the sound sorted so you can hear us as well.

In maths we enjoyed some of our favourite activities from Term 2.

On Wednesday we had a healthy shared kai to celebrate Matariki and the end of our Healthy Eating topic.

In the afternoon we made healthy food pictograms after sharing the Hungry Caterpillar story

In our final session of No Child Left Inside we gave the All Blacks cause for concern with our outstanding

tackling skills and tricky footwork. I am happy to tell you that these sessions will be continuing next term.
