Dodge Ball
Today Room 3 and our buddy class (Room 5) got together to play a game of dodge ball.
It was great to see the older children passing the ball to the youger children on their team and 'going easy' on them when throwing the ball.
We're looking forward to our next buddy class session!

Soccer Fun
Today Room 3 children braved the cold, and pracised some soccer skills.
We dribbled the ball, stopped the ball with one foot, and practised kicking hard to get the ball in the goal.
We're looking forward to having a game soon!

A Special Day
Today we celebrated Jack's birthday. Jack turned 8 on Saturday. After singing "Happy Birthday" he showed us on his i-pad how his family sung the birthday song to him, and we watched him blow out his candles.
Jack was full of smiles. The only thing he didn't like was the lollipop Miss Jeynes gave him.
Sorry Jack!
For every birthday, we sing Happy Birthday in Maori, and count the years in Maori.
Here are the lines ...
Ra whanau kia koe
Ra whanau kia koe
Ra whanau kia ____________ (Jack)
Ra whanau kia koe
Tahi, rua, toru, wha, rima, ono, whitu, waru, iwa, tekau!
(In our class, we only get as far as 'iwa - 9')

Large Ball Skills
On Friday afternoon we practised some large ball skills: chest passes, bounce passes and lobbing.
Next week, we'll practice a bit more, and then get stuck into soccer skills.

Room 3's Class Trip to Palmerston North
Today our class met up with Cara and Manas from Horizons Regional Council at the Manawatu River. They talked to us about what causes pollution in rivers. It's not just litter!
Then we all pitched in, and picked up litter alongside the river walkway.
We were amazed at how much rubbish we found in the bushes!
Then (after a good long play at the Esplanade), we went to the Recycling Centre and learnt about how lots of everyday packaging can be recycled to be made into new items.
There were MOUNTAINS of compacted cardboard, plastic bottles, and even cars!
We had a terrific day and learnt lots.
REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE!
