Cricket Coaching with Arthur

We had a great day learning the important cricket skills with Arthur today, what a great coach he is!

We did some fielding drills called Last One Standing and played a cool speed cricket game... by the way, the girls won both activities!

 

STEM-W task

For the next few Tuesday's Room 17 is working on a STEM-W task.

STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, and we are combining Writing as well.

We familiarised ourselves with the Jack and the Beanstalk story and in small teams were assigned to design a parachute capable to carrying Jack safety from the top of the playground to the bottom at a slower decent than our control drop.

We've tested our first design and are looking forward to some modifications next week!  Mrs Muir

      

Science!

Today we mixed vinegar /water with aspro clear tablets in a small container and observed.  The 2 substances mixed, causing gas to be given off - the gas built up pressure in the container....

Ride on Bike Day

What a great day! A big thanks to the 'Ride on' Team and the parents who came along to help out.  Well done Room 17, you were awesome. You listened well and tried your hardest.

Ride on bike day

Hi, a reminder to bring bikes and helmets tomorrow for ride on day!

Friday Topic work

We got together with our buddy class on Friday and learned more about bikes.  We had to identify different parts of the bike.

Southern Jam Visit

We had 3 schools make the long journey up from Christchurch to play Jazz music for us.  Rangi Ruru, Christchurch Boys High and Christs College. We remembered most of the instruments from our trip to the ASB Theatre to see the Orchestra play.

There was heaps of clapping, dancing and woo-hooing. We have some serious Jazz lovers in the school!
