Athletics Training Begins Today

"When we did some stretches they were really challenging and hard and I could really feel the muscles being stretched" Liam "Leaning over backwards requires a lot of flexibility" Anna "We did some pretty cool stuff like awesome jumping, really fun racing, and super-duper stretching" Emma "The hardest stretching was leaning back as hard as you can" Ola "The jumping we did was really fun. We had to stand on the mat and jump on number 1 to the front, 2 was back, 3 to the left and 4 to the right" Nikko "We had our juicy fruit before morning tea, then came back to the classroom, talked about how we felt about athletics today, then wrote about it".

Anyone for Fruit?

We've been thinking about ways of reducing the litter in our playground... so many children bring packets of food for morning tea! We have decided to "munch as we work"! This is our fruitbowl: we put our fruit in here, Mrs Barbalich cuts it up into tasty pieces and we now munch morning tea as we work during the morning. Aha! Now we don't have to worry about getting empty packets into the litter bin and we can play all through our morning tea time.

What's more- we know the fruit we are eating is far more healthy for us than the packets of snacks we used to eat!

How do you Create a Razzle Dazzle Show?

Tomorrow we're going to Downstage to see a live show. We've been reading Pamela Allen's books: today we read Mary Elizabeth's House, then made a paper house with a monster inside. Take a look at these photos from the show!

Hockey on Wheels

Today we got kitted out with inline skates, helmets and safety gear for a fun Hockey on Wheels session. Balancing and moving forwards were rather challenging and we felt an amazing sense of achievement when we got it right! Hockey on Wheels on PhotoPeach

Razzle Dazzle

This is our Razzle Dazzle term.  We are going to be working towards a catwalk presentation of our wearable arts creations, and next term's Artsplash Children's festival.
This morning we talked about creatively constructing art works and have built up interesting vocabulary words and their definitions for our classroom display!
