Small Ball Skills

This morning we had fun with Greg, learning ball skills.  We were trying to throw a tennis ball as far as we could.  We had to remember to have our aiming arm pointing up at 45 degrees, to step forward with our opposite leg, to hold on to the tennis ball with 2 fingers and our thumb, and our eyes had to look in the direction that we wanted the ball to go.  So much to remember!

Goodbye

Well everyone it's time to say goodbye. The year is nearly over and 2012 will bring us new adventures. Some children from Room 8 will be in Anna's class, some will be with whaea Robyn and some will be with Mrs Frost. 

Wherever you are work hard, be happy and show your new teacher your beautiful spirit.

Happy New Year and Happy Holidays.

Smarty Pants!

We are reading a book called Smarty Pants! It is about a clown. Clown's wear silly hats. They have funny hair. They have red noses. This is us with our red noses.

Pohutakawa Tree

We used a bubble effect to make our Pohutakawa Tree. We used red, gold and green to make the flowers. We used green to make the leaves. We used hand prints to make the leaves. It felt like it was going up our arms! The tree has got branches on it. We might put glitter on it.

Funky Town in Fabulous Room 8!

We have been working hard to make sure our Funky Town dance for Ground Celebration is super. We practice our dance every day and we are getting better and better. We love keeping fit and moving our body to music!

Pohutakawa

Today we drew Pohutakawa flowers.
They are special flowers because they grow on NZ's special Christmas tree.
You will see them at the beach in summer.
