Turbo touch

Today we did turbo touch. One of the players from the starting team stood behind the touchdown zone with the ball. They tapped it with their foot then passed it out to a player. Almost everything was counted in twos. Each team could have two touches. The opposition team had to be two metres back from the person who had been touched. And how long did the opposition have to wait before they could touch them (the person who got touched). That's right! Two seconds. You're not allowed to drop the ball if you do the opposition team gets the ball. If you score a try and you're standing in the touchdown zone it will not count. We all had loads of fun.

The Rope Swing at Health Camp

The rope swing is 27 feet tall. The super swing goes super fast. We hang on as tight as we can. It was awesome!

The Gymnastics Competition

At school we showed our news which were our gymnastics ribbons and medals(awards). For our gymnastics competition we had six routines. The routines were pommel,high bar,vault,floor,rings and Parallel bars. The colours of the ribbons are green,blue,red and gold.The red and gold ribbons are the ones we are aiming for. After lunch we showed the class our routines, well most of them anyway. We showed them the parallel bar routine, then the high bar routine.After that we showed them our floor routine. And last, but not least, our pommel routine. Last of all the teacher took a photo of us together holding up our medals,ribbons and certificates.

Room 13 news

Each week in pairs children from our class are going to be reporters and write a news story about something that is happening in our class, school, or home life. We will be using the app blog press to send it straight to our blog so watch this space.
We will also be writing stories on our sfx authors blog.

Pattern Search

As an immersion activity Mrs Pene took photos of patterns found within our school. Armed with a camera or ipod and with a selection of photos we had to find the object the pattern was a part of. We took a photo of the object as evidence and Mrs Wendt checked that we had correctly identified the objects. Some of the patterns were hard to find and we needed clues.

ipads in the classroom

We are lucky to have ipads to integrate into our classroom programme. We have had iplay sessions as part of an immersion rotation where we have been able to use any app and find our way around an ipad.
We will be using them within our maths and literacy programmes and looking at new creative ways to present our learning
