FMS Sport

On Wednesday we went to the hall to do FMS Sport. We learned how to do an overhand throw. You put your hand straight and your feet have to face the wall. Then you can throw it.  See how we do it:

We played a game after that. You had to throw the bean bag to the floor. Everybody has to get it back in the square. We have to run and get some points when they are getting the bean bags. Have a look:

Term 2 Week 6 Certificate

This week was also the Kapa Haka assembly. Some of our students were performing. Can you find them in the video?

Planting a Tree

In assembly this morning we got a plant because we posted our pledge on our blog yesterday. This afternoon we went to the back of the school to plant it. First we dug a hole with the spades. Then we put the plant in the hole. Next we filled in the hole with the dirt. Finally we watered the plant. Have a look at the pictures we took.

Shapes!

Mr Davidson told us to make pictures with shapes. We could use triangles, rectangles, circles, hexagons, ovals and squares. Have a look at the videos we took talking about our pictures:

Puppet Discovery

Today we made puppets in Discovery Time. The puppets were funny so we were using our Habit of Mind, That's Funny! We also used Stop and Think because stopped and thought about what we wanted to make before we started. Have a look and read about what some of us did during Discovery below:

Discovery

Today the Magnificent Monkeys and the Brave Bears did Discovery on the Teddy Bear's Picnic. We had a picnic outside, made some bear masks, built a bear house and dance to The Teddy Bear's Picnic. Here is a Comic Life of what we did:

Building With Blocks in Brain Time

In Brain Time, we like playing with blocks. Mr Davidson said to build a really tall tower. Here are some PicCollages we made and a Comic Life Mr Davidson made:

 

Jackson is our Friend

During Discovery today, we got to hold Jackson, our class pet. We listened to Mr Davidson. We had to hold him on the tail near his bum and be very careful. He was not too scared of us. See the pictures of us holding him:

Flower Power Wednesday

Izaya was given the flower last week and so this week it was his turn to choose someone who was kind. He picked Kalolo. At lunch time, Izaya wanted to play rugby and Kalolo asked him to play with him. Some other children told Izaya he couldn't play, but Kalolo stood up for him and helped him solve the problem. Well done Kalolo! It's great to see that you are being a good friend!

Brain Time and Sand Pit

In Brain Time today, some of us made houses out of cards. It was cool and some were very tall. Look at what some of us did:

First we looked at the pictures of sand sculptures. We saw sharks, dolphins, turtles and alligators. Then we went to the sandpit and made some sculptures. The sand wasn't wet so it wouldn't stick together. We put water on the sand. See what we did here:

Term 1 Week 5 Certificate

In assembly, Brooklyn also got a certificate for her bravery:

And 8 boys were picked for the attendance draw! What are the odds?

Swimming!

Today when we went swimming, Mr Davidson took videos of us swimming. Here they are:

Discovery Time!

We did Discovery in Room 8 today with Room 9 and Room 10. We went to make a beach game outside by the tree and we went to make the water and then we went to paint the box so we could make something.

Have a look at some of the pictures Mr Davidson took of us:

Story Retells

Some more of our reading groups tried our retells using the iPads. Have a look and listen to see what we read about:

Chimpanzees:

Monkeys

Sandpit Time

Yesterday the Magnificent Monkeys went to the sandpit and the sandpit was too dry.

So we put water in the sandpit to make the sand thicker so we could make it stick together and not fall down.

The sand got too wet....

... so we mixed it together.

Then we could make sandballs with the sand.

We used persistence because we never gave up. We also used working together to make sure no one got hurt from getting sand in their eyes from the wind.
