Rugby League

Today we learnt some new rugby league skills. They included passing and throwing with two hands and defending the ball. Check out the photos of us enjoying being taught about rugby league.

Animal Reports

In Room 13 we have been studying about different animals. Today we wrote a report about the animals we have been studying. These are some of the reports Room 13 wrote.

Flies
Flies are insects. You find them anywhere. You mostly find them in the air. They have big eyes and wings. They are small and have a head. They can fly, crawl and tickle. Flies can be irritating and they can tickle you when they land on you. Sometimes I ask Mum if I can wack their guts out of them. Usually I don't do it but sometimes I do. I do not like flies because they distract me when I am working.

Ali

Snakes
Snakes are reptiles. They have tails, tummies, and heads. You find them in the wild. They can slither, bite and curl up. They are an animal with a long body and no legs. I think snakes are scary.

Alligators

Alligators are a type of reptile. They snap and snip all over the place. They are very dangerous. They have very sharp teeth. You find them in America. They bite and they kill. I think they are bad because they kill people.

Pohutukawa Swimming Carnival

Swimming Is Fun

Last Thursday my class and room 14 and 9, we all did the starfish and races. My cousin won two races and Max was third in the underwater race. I took part in the kickboard race and Fin won the kickboard race. There was a kickboard length race too. I was fun, in fact it was great!

Charlie

The Swimming Race

Last Thursday we went to the swimming carnival. First we did a front starfish. It was fun and cool. The second race was the piggyback race. My buddy was Charlie. I had to bring two towels and goggles and sunscreen and a hat. I loved it! My favourite race was the under water race.

Suter Art Gallery - Wreck of the Delaware

On Wednesday we walked to the Suter Art Gallery. We went to see the Art exhibition from Sally Burton Called Wreck of the Delaware. Esther told us the story about how the wreck happened and we watched a movie. We learnt a lot about how to shade a picture.
Have a look what we did at the gallery!

We used pastel crayons to draw different faces and to work on our shading techniques.


Thanks once again to the parents who came along and helped us!

The Human Body. Term 1 Study.
