Daily Fitness!!

Every day we do fitness, this can be a combination of different motor skills, balance and fitness activities.  This helps us to get some more oxygen into our bodies and helps our brain have a bit of a break and a chance to recharge.  It is an important part of our day and we love it even if it is wet we still do something in class.  Today we practiced our skipping, Hoola Hooping and running.

Cross Counry

Last Thursday was Cross Country day and after a week of cold and cloud it dawned a beautiful sunny warm day, someone was looking after us!!  What a success!! Everyone participated and gave it 110% effort so congratulations to everyone in the Room 7.  We were lucky enough to have some people in Room 7 who placed in the top four in their age group and they get to go on to the Tri-School event on May 26 so well done.  I was so proud of how you kept going and never gave up awesome work.

Library Visit

Last week we went on a visit to the Waimakiriri Public Library.  We got a tour around the library and got to see everything that is available in the library for us to read and issue.  We also got to see out the back where all the books are processed and fixed if they are broken, it was really interesting.  Many thanks to the librarians who took the time to show us around.  It was a shame that it was a wet day so we couldn't go to the park next door and have lunch!

Term 2

Wow Term 2 is here already the holidays are but a distant memory now.  We have spent the week dodging the rain and settling back into routines and getting back into the swing of learning.  We have been busy collecting leaves and having leaf wars with all the beautiful autumn leaves that are falling all around us at the moment.  Looking forward to another action packed term, our inquiry this term is going to be  science based around insects and the classification of them, bring on the bug hunts!!!
