We have been so busy in Room 1 already this term that it will be hard to fit it all in just one blog post. Here goes .....
Cycle Safety - This week our Year 6's participated in the annual cycle safety programme run by the Christchurch City Council. Each day they were out learning all the road rules, how to signal and gain some confidence on their bikes.
Cross Country - Yesterday was our school cross country down at Jelly Park. EVERYONE put in 110% and gave it their best! We had many Room 1 Learners come home in the top 6 for their year group - these people (names to be added soon) will soon be representing Wairakei School at zones.
Winter Sport - Game on! Next Thursday is our first game of winter sports at Hagley Park so we have been practicing twice a week. Hockey, Netball, Soccer and Rugby teams have been learning the skills, working together and getting fit ready to take on teams from other schools.
Future Inventions Challenge - This week a challenge was set: Design an invention of the future that uses energy in some way. Learners were required to complete both a detailed diagram of the invention and an information report describing their invention. Wish I lived in the future already, that's all i can say. Hopefully some of these will be posted on blogs asap.
Blogging - We are getting really good at blogging each week. Not only do we post a lot of the work we do around inquiry, specific pieces of writing etc we also write a post of our choice each week on any subject that interests us. You can check out all our blogs on the side of our class blog. We also have blogging buddies from
Room 11 at Grey Main School.
and that's not even all of what we have been doing .....
