Buddy Reading

The other day we went and did buddy reading with Pohutukawa 8. It was really fun learning what the juniors thought about the books we read to them. Some of our buddies talked lots and some of them were really shy. They were all really cute. It is going to be really fun having the same buddies for the whole year. We will get to know them really well. Some of them even gave us hugs!

Let's get Physical!

Huff and puff was the aim for our session today with Michelle and Diane from Project Energize. We played a game called snatch the tail first. We had to snatch peoples tails off and the last person who had their tail left won the game. We also played bulldozers and builders where we had to turn the cones upside down if you were a bulldozer and turn them up the right way if you were a builder. It was really fun and crazy. We played two games and the builders and bulldozers won a game each. It really was a huff and puff session!!

How do you get exercise in other ways?

BLOG RULES

We love using our BLOG and we thought that we needed to come up with some ideas about how we should be using it. We started this work at  home and then finished it at school. Here are the ideas we had as a class.

This is our Brainstorm of what we thought should be added to our BLOG rules. We did this for homework and then shared our ideas together!

Next we decided to priortise our ideas so that the ideas we thought were most important were put at the top of our chart. Some of our ideas were similar to others and we had a lot discussion about what we thought about where the ideas should be!

A Day of Racing!

We felt a bit nervous getting on the bus to go to Swimming Sports. Butterflies were brewing in our tummies. As soon as we got changed we were ready to get into the pool. The water was nice and calm when we started.

As the buzzer rang we all sped off the block. Our Whanaus were all doing our chants and cheering us on. We kicked our legs as fast as we could to get to the end. We all tried our very best for the whole day. Miro 13 students did very well and our teacher was very proud of all our achievements.

We yelled our chants in triumph at the end of the day because we had all been successful.

Miro 13 also came 3rd in the class relays. GO TEAM MIRO 13!!

Fun + water = Swimming Sports!

What was your favourite part of the day and why?
