Gymnastics Festival

We entered a team in the Rhythmic Gymnastics section at the Gisborne Gymnastics Festival.  We had a 3 minute routine that we had to learn and practice.  It was made up of a medley of songs and included shuffling, line dancing and the macarena! It was tricky to get everyone moving in time with each other and the music.  We came first in our section - tau kē!

Exploring Blogs

We looked at students' blogs from other schools in New Zealand to see what information they shared and what we could find out about them.  We also checked out how many posts they had shared on their blogs and how many times people had viewed them.  We are going to create our own personal blogs soon!

Here is what Kayeson found out...

Using Screencastify

This week we made a slide about a famous New Zealander. We then used Screencastify to record what we found out about them. We thought this was a great way to share our learning!

STEM Challenge - Making a Periscope.

After our virtual tour of the Gallipoli Exhibition at Te Papa, we were really interested in the periscopes that the soldiers made so that they could see what was happening above the trenches, but could keep themselves safe.  We had a go at making one ourselves using the Learn, Create, Share model.

Swim for Life

We are really enjoying the Swim for Life Programme at Enterprise Pools.  Every Tuesday of this term, we have a lesson that teaches us swimming and survival skills.
