The heavy ball was comforting in my small 10 year old hands. I fixed my eye on the pins and threw. I felt like an archer letting go of the arrow; hoping, praying that it hit the target.
BANG!
One...two...three...nine!
Nice pins fell to the ground.
I had won.
Here are a few pictures from our Jumping June day which was lots of fun! The children (and teachers) have been keeping fit by doing lots of skipping this term. The children also raised hundreds of dollars for the Heart Foundation.
For Theme this term we are learning about old-fashioned games - the games our parents and grandparents used to play when they were children. We have been playing games such as Creep Up Jack, Four Square, skipping, elastics, knucklebones and marbles.
Last week Thomas and Finn ran a hockey tournament for the class. Here are some pics, as well as a photo of the two teams that made the finals. The finals was very exciting going to a penalty shoot out. Thanks boys for organising a great tournament for Turama!
This term the Turama students have been taking turns leading fitness for the class. This means they need to plan and organise a station, and lead each group that comes to them in a fitness activity. The students are getting very good at leading and there are always a variety of fun activities that build fitness and skills.
Constable Hamish came to school to teach the children about road safety, particularly how to cross roads safely. The children need to be aware of where they cross and make sure they think and say "danger right, check left, danger right" before crossing the road in a direct manner, heads up looking where they are going. Thank you Constable Hamish. We managed to finish practising right before the skies opened to heavy rain.
Today is Cosy Day at school. The children were invited to come to school in their cosy clothes, eg think PJs, robes, onesies, etc. The Year ...
