HOCKEY FUN - Room 1

Wow! It's been a really busy term so far and on Monday, 30th May, Room 1 were at it again, out on the sports field and having a great time.

This time it was a totally different ball game, with a new set of rules ... NO HANDS AND NO FEET ON BALL!!!

Hockey was the name of this game and boy did we have fun. Our coaches, Bevan and Mac were awesome and taught us some great skills. It didn't take long for us to get the hang of what we had to do and in no time at all, we were pushing, trapping, dribbling and tearing up and down the hockey turf with our sticks and hockey ball.

SOCCER SKILLS - Room 1

Room 1 were the first out of the blocks for soccer skills with Owen on Monday, 9th May and we had a ball!!

Number one rule ... NO HANDS! FEET ONLY - that's why it's called football!

It took us a while to warm up but once we got into it, there was no stopping us. First, Owen put us into teams and we had to put on different coloured training singlets. We told Owen they were too big ... Owen told us we were just too small. Then we grabbed a ball each and practiced dribbling with both feet, keeping our heads up so we could see where we were going, and moving into space.

The games were really cool too. We played Stuck in the Mud and Owen was the Monster Muncher. Every time he trapped our ball, we had to stop and put the ball on top of our head and stand still. We could only move when a team mate came along and kicked a ball through our legs. Our last game was Rob the Nest. That was alot of fun. All in all, we had a fantastic morning and Whaea Jacqui was really happy because everybody had a go!

Room 4 at Mair Park

Room 4 had a terrific time at Mair Park. We had lots of parents and grandparents to care for us. Some of the boys played soccer. Ollie and Jackson had a ride back to school in the police car. How great was that?

CHANGE...A miracle happens in Room 2.

At school we are starting to learn about Change. Today we witnessed the Miracle of Life in Room 2. What a change it was!
