Puppy Fun

We have had end of week visits from these little guys. We are enjoying watching them grow and change, although they are sleeping almost all of the time.

Pukeko Hub's Amazing Race

Students in the Pukeko Hub have spent the past two weeks in Tinana designing activities for our Amazing Race. In small teams the students had to design a small physical challenge to be completed in the race. Teams were given a map and elected a leader that stayed at their activity to run it.

Today the students got to complete the race. The teams were running all around the school to complete the 15 challenges.

When they finished each challenge they were given a fractions question which they had to complete at the end of the race together. So we were integrating Maths and PE together.

Sharing our games

We have spent the last 3 weeks in Tinana designing and refining our own games. Team 1 were designing games using padder tennis bats, tennis balls, cones and large bouncy balls.

Today we shared our games with the other groups and tried each others games. The groups then gave each other feedback about what they liked about the game.

Symmetrical Shapes

Last week we were looking at symmetry as part of our focus on Geometry in Strand maths. The students needed to create symmetrical shapes with 3, 4 and more than 4 sides.

We also had 3 students from Room 1 take part in the school swimming sports on Friday. They a great job representing Room 1 in their races.

Rad Rythym

Room 3 had our 2nd Rad Rythym lesson today. We are doing well at flipping our sticks and moving to the next drum.

Rad Rythym and Tinana

This week Room 1 started Rad Rythym. All the classes in the Patu team are doing it. The students will be learning a performance piece across the term.

In Tinana the students are getting to design their own games using equipment provided. They are working together to develop the rules and will test the games out to see how they go.

Teamwork Balance

Today at fitness group 3 were practising their Teamwork Balance. They had heaps of fun helping each other to stay balanced   whilst working through some different activities.
