Tabloid Sport with Hira School

What a fantastic day on Friday, with Hira School coming to visit for Tabloid Sports. The children interacted with each other really well and the events were well thought out and organised. We started with a welcome at the hall. Mrs Hockley welcomed Hira and the boys did a Haka. Hira joined us for Jump Jam, which was a lot of fun. Watch out for the stories, from the class later this week.

Seasonal Ceramics at the Suter

Last week we made a trip to the Suter and had the opportunity to work with some clay and produce an angel each. As we are only learning some of the angels looked 'un angel like!'. This was quite a tricky task and all the children had a really good attempt at producing their angel. We can't wait until Esther (at the Suter) has the chance to fire them and we can get them back to paint. It was a fantastic sessions thanks to the many parents who came along and helped out. This made the job much easier.

Cricket Coaching

We have been very lucky this term to have Jake and Yap come and coach the class to develop their cricket skills. The children are learning how to throw properly and how to bat. Matariki has been a great sportsman and helped others, although he is often first to field the ball. Great throwing skills from lots of the children.

Whiskers the basketballer!!

Matariki, Cody S., and Cody H. said:

On Friday Whiskers played basketball in the back room. She was rolling the basketball around on the floor with her nose and the side of her head.

Whiskers was enjoying herself and we think that she could go into a basketball team.

We like Whiskers because she is cuddly and she is fun to watch.

The Disco

Last Thursday night we had a disco at school.
