Learning all about hockey

We have had the coaches from Otago sport come in to teach us some of the skills of hockey.
We have enjoyed learning how to use the hockey stick properly, and how to dribble and trap the ball.

Goal Setting Interviews

Our goal setting interviews are coming up on Wednesday (25th March) and Thursday (26th March). Thank you to all those parents that have returned the notice in regards to an interview time. If you haven't done this, could you please do so as soon as possible.

The meeting is only 10 minutes long and there is a lot to get through in this time. I have sent home a sheet this week that you may like to fill in before coming. This will help to save time on the night, as it will help to identify your child's strengths.

It is important that the children attend these interviews, as they need to be invested in the goals that are being set.

Who am I?

Here are some examples of our 'Who am I?' clues. The rest are hanging up on our classroom walls. Come on in and see if you can guess the children in Room 9.

Swimming Time

We have started our sessions at the DNI pool. We will be swimming daily between the 3rd of March until the 12th of March. We need to bring our togs and towel everyday.
We have made wonderful progress due to the coaching that the swimming tutors have been giving us!

Visiting the Art Gallery

Today we visited John at the Art Gallery.

We looked at some of the portraits in the Gallery and Izzy got to dress up as one of the ladies in a painting that we were shown.

We then went into the art room and got to work creating some portraits using oil pastels and dye. We are going to use these as motivation to do a self-portrait that will hang on our wall.

We have had a great start to the Term.

Today we spent the afternoon creating Wordles on the computer. We had to think of words to describe ourselves.
