Week 8 Already!

Goodness it is Week 8 already - I can hardly believe it! The term is whizzing by...Spring is here, the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming.

We have started our week off well with the lovely Sophie teaching us Kelly Sports. We love it; it is a great way to start our week.

We started today by warming up with one foot on the ball and the other foot on the  floor then we did a quick swap with our feet. The warm up continued with us moving around the room with the ball: dribbling the ball but keeping within the boundaries. Next we did the same thing but high fived each other: a challenge designed to get us to look where we are heading whilst dribbling. The first game today was 'candlesticks' but with footballs. When we were tagged we had to pick up our ball and hold it at our chest. We could ‘save’ each other by kicking the ball under the candlesticks legs. To increase the challenge Sophie picked two teams. The second game of the day was 'Octopus' but with balls. The taggers having to kick the player's ball out of boundaries to get them out. It was a fun take on the the games we all know very well .

Yay! A day for visitors in the classroom; this afternoon, Mrs Wetere visited us and after a lovely Maori story time we practised our tititoria.

We have to be quite gentle and be careful not to knock holes on our floor!

We work with partners to practise...

 ...and then we put our tititoria routines to music. We love it, it is really good for our focusing and listening skills.
