Football Workshop with Juan on PhotoPeach

Ratu 13 Poutu-te-rangi

Today 5 members of Team 11 and students from other classes went for some extra football training with Juan. We learnt new skills and played a game. Juan showed us skill to stop an apponent, and juggling the ball. Juan told us to keep practicing our turns to stop the apponent getting the ball off you.

3 students are working on a Photopeach slideshow about our class visit to the 4 Square, to look at to look at reading the nutrition labels of different food items. Keep an eye on this space we will post our slideshow, real soon ....

Raapa 8 o Hui-tanguru

We went swimming, but the water was cold. Miss Pearse's and Mr Preston's groups swam lengths. This afternoon we found out what type of learner we are, some of us were bodily kinesthetic, or visual spatial, or logical Mathematical and there are others. We are continuing to learn about place value in maths and we wrote letters to ourselves about ourselves

A great start to week 2! Today we did spelling and place value testing. We used a tracking sheet to see where we are at, and identify our next learning steps. We didn't go swimming today - but we need to remember our togs tomorrow. We went out for some PE but the bell rang and cut our lesson short. We have been watching Miss Pearse's friend 'Gilby' as he and other cyclists cycle through Arthur's Pass as part of the Kiwi Brevet - check them out here - http://trackleaders.com/kiwibrevet

Today we discussed and practiced ruling and writing up our books. We glued in our writing and maths guide lines. When we do any written work we must remember our DUMTUMS. DUMTUMS stand for Date, Underline, Miss a line, Title, Underline, Miss a line, and Start.

We also went to the Greytown swimming pools for swimming. We were put into ability groups to practice our swimming. Greytown School Swimming Sports are on in 3 weeks. We MUST remember our togs, towels and polar fleeces every day.

Sky TV interviews Room 11

2 Sky TV people came to Room 11 today to interview some of the Room 11 students and Miss Pearse. They filmed us and asked us questions about our 'adopted' country that were are researching and the Rugby World Cup. Amy told them about Fiji and told them that in 2005 on tour Fiji got defeated by NZ 91-0. Josh and Jonty talked about France and said about the landmarks in France. Once they have finished editing, they will put the short interview on the Rugby World Cup website.
