Being A Learner: Our First PE Lesson

We have started our Run, Jump, Throw PE unit.  As part of this we learn how to throw a shot put and discus, run in lanes, jump over hurdles and the high jump, long jump and long distance running.  It is a lot to learn!  We get to showcase our skills at our whole School Athletics Day at the end of the term.  Here are some photos of us practising our shot put. 

Being A Learner: Our First Kiwisport Lesson with Nate

On Friday we had our first Kiwisport lesson with Nate.  We have Kiwisport every second Friday and every other Friday we practise the skills that we learnt at the last lesson.  

We played a game to develop our locomotor skills which involved us moving around others.  This is an important skill for invasion games.  

After that we played a game where we had to move through the hoops in different ways and drop a bean bag for the next person in our team to pick up.  It was good to practise taking turns in a relay situation.  

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Here is a selection of photos and videos put together to make a movie of us being learners at Aquagym.  

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Today we started our swimming lessons at Aquagym.  

Our teachers are Lucy, Katrina and Mikayla.  

We are in three groups and today our teaches checked out what we know in our groups.  

It was very exciting going swimming for the first time!  

Miss Collins talked about what would happen when we arrived so we knew what to expect. 

We also talked about listening to our teacher so we could learn as much as possible.  

We are looking forward to getting better at swimming!  

Here are some Room 1 swimmers!  

Being A Respectful and Responsible: Today We Started Swimming!

Today we started swimming for two weeks.  We were very excited to be getting on a bus to go to swimming.  We practised being Respectful and Responsible on the bus by following the three corner rule.  This means we can't talk until the driver has been around three corners.  It allows the bus driver to safely drive us to the school.  

School Cross Country

Today we had our school Cross Country.  Room One ran first with Room Two.  We managed to run all the way round without stopping.  

It was exciting taking part in Cross Country for the first time.  

We had been training since last term and when we started running we couldn't run around the field non-stop.  Our fitness has improved!  

We enjoyed cheering our whanau, buddies and friends on as they raced.  

A big thanks to the parents who came and watched us!
