CROSS COUNTRY

Some photos from last weeks cross country.  The puddles made it all that more exciting.  Were you dreading the cross country, or were you eager to participate?  Recounts to come!

Did you lead all the way Harry?

Oliver - always smiling. 

That's the way boys!

Splish Splash I was taking a bath ...

Who can I overtake now?

Very close at the finish line between these two!

The look of determination!

RUGBY

This week we had the official opening for our new rugby goal posts.  Thanks Jett!

Here is Reagan kicking for goal with the Turbos.  

AT THE MARAE

On Tuesday room 2 and our buddy class Poutokomanawa, along with room 8 and 14 visited Te Ahu A Turanga Marae in Woodwille.  A fantastic time was had by all.   

Here are some photos from our day ...

WHALE WATCH

Today Connor was our 'Pilot Whale'.  He decided that our 'Whale Watch' would focus on 'Helping Others'.  



At the end of the day:

• Harry thanked Reagan for helping him draw koro patterns
• Jaden thanked Codey for helping him draw koro patterns 
• Jorja thanked Jemma for helping her draw koro patterns too 
• Fiona thanked Connor and Helna for recording our mihi

What whale watch will Harry choose tomorrow?

WRITING

While we we talking about things we are good at, Fiona discovered many of us love scootering.  We think this video is really cool.  

Today we wrote about it.  We brainstormed these words for a word back ...

Reagan is learning to write fast words, while also using finger spaces, so that he can share his stories ...  

I saw the man on his scooter and he did a back flip.  That is amazing.  It was very cool.  

Connor has the same goal ...

Scooter ring man did a back flip and a front flip and he twisted his handle bars. 

Victoria is learning to use joining words ...

I can do a back flip, because my mum taught me on a scooter and it was fun.  I always do go on my scooter, because it is fun, very fun. 

Helna is very good at using joining words now.  Her next goal is to use new WOW words.  We look for these in books we are reading ...

I love scootering with my scooter, because it is a Barbie scooter and I love my Barbie scooter very much.  I love going to the park too. 

WRITING

In room 2 we have been doing interactive writing.  Fiona writes and we write too.  We have been learning to use fast words around the room to help us record our ideas.  We are also learning to leave finger spaces between our words, so that we can share our stories with others. 

Fiona is impressed, as we try our best.  This our first Tohora nui whale.  

And here is our writing ...
