Get Yo Body Movin'

Team One have been doing a team rotation on Friday afternoons. We get mixed into different groups then each week the groups rotate around to a different activity with a different teacher. Here is a snippet of some of the activities we have been doing.

A Gift of Slippers

On Tuesday some kind person... or people donated some knitted slippers they had made for our 3 classes. We will love wearing them in the classroom. Thank you so much.

Some Things We Do in Room 13, 14 15.

Here are some of the things we have been up to lately

Alphabet Letter Songs With Actions

Here are the songs we sing with actions to go with each letter of the alphabet we learn.

NED

A man called Cosmo and his friend Ned came to our school. He told us all about being kind to other people. Cosmo and Ned had been on a trip to Kenya in Africa and had met some wonderful people there. Ned learnt that it is OK for people and places, to be different from what we are used to. In fact he found out that it is really interesting and fun to meet new people and trying new things.

Cosmo showed us some magic tricks as he was telling us his story. Some children even won some special prizes. Paula from room 15 was one of the lucky ones. He got given some little carved wooden animals in a little bag, that were made in Kenya.

Cosmo and Ned had a great message for us and it was lots of fun watching their show.

Move Your Body Immersion Assembly

This term our Inquiry is called, 'Move Your Body'. It is all about keeping fit and healthy.
Here is the movie our Team 1 teachers made for our Immersion Assembly

Rippa Rugby

Last term Ms Squires came and watched a Rippa Rugby game some of our Year 1's play on Friday evenings.  Check out some of their moves.

Gymnastics Term 2

Last term for Kiwisport we did Gymnastics. It was great learning lots of different skills like, the landing position, tuck, straddle and pike positions. We learnt how to do a forwards roll and a backwards roll. It was lots of fun.

Matariki Celebration

In term 2 we had a Matariki day where we the whole school got to choose an art and craft, cooking or sport activity to do for the day. Ms Squires' group made plaster art.

More Marble Runs

Here are some more marble runs we made when Team 1 did a rotation looking at different simple machines.

Sometimes they didn't quite work so we had to try and think of ways to improve them.

Marble Runs

Last term we were investigating how we could make things move. Check out the marble runs we made.
