Student Council Speeches

Yesterday and today we listened to the speeches for the Student Council. We could vote for one year 4, one year 5 and one year 6 student.

Year 3s have to wait until next year to stand for the council but it was great to be able to hear the speeches and see the process. The year 4s who stood for Council from Room 7 got to speak yesterday and they were feeling proud of their efforts today.

Water Fun Day

Yesterday was Water Fun Day. We had lots of different water based activities - including old favourites   bubbles, the paddling pool and sprinkler. We also had some new favourites including sponge war and water painting.
We all had an awesome day except maybe Daniel who couldn't get his cast wet.

Spray paint in a different way.

Our Class Treaty

In Room 7 we have written our class treaty. It shows how we will treat each other with respect this year. After we decided that this was what we wanted to say we all signed it.

This is what it says:

Swimming

We used the lovely weather on Friday to catch up on the swimming we missed on Monday (when the water was a chilly 18 degrees). It might have been our warmest day yet. I hope next week is as warm though the weather doesn't look promising.

Pleased to be in the water.

Rocket arms.

Time for a quick play at the end.

Cricket

Today with Matt we learned about throwing in cricket. He had a really useful routine we used to remember how to throw.

Sumo!

Starfish!

Aim!

Throw!

  We also had a fun game of Diamond Cricket. Thanks Matt!

Assembly

Well done to Room 7 hosting the first assembly of 2015!
All the presenters did a wonderful job. I'm sorry we had to cut things short and not everyone got their turn but unfortunately we ran out of time.
We shared a few of our 'Why' poems in assembly - Here they are for you to read.

Cricket Training

Today we had our first cricket lesson with Matt from Hutt District Cricket Club.

We focussed on fielding - throwing and catching skills.

   

 

 

Thanks to Matt, who was great. We all enjoyed being out in the sun learning new skills.
