Thank you Class 21!

This afternoon started out just like any other in Class 24.   We were all sitting comfortably around the room reading our chosen books when all of the sudden there was a knock on our door! Class 21 came to visit us!  Ms. Wild's Class come down to invite us to play a game of soccer with them!  We had so much fun spending our afternoon block out in the sun with Class 21 and we played with mixed teams so we were able to make new friends too!  Thanks for picking us to play with Class 21!  You're the best!

Just enjoying our reading time...

Leah, Cherish and Keyana are great at the Pt. England Way!
Check out how they are sharing their pillow!

Ms Wild led both classes out to a special field that had just been mowed just for us!
(Well, kind of...)

We were told the rules and split onto two teams.

Really!  We are playing soccer not rugby!

Check out this opening kick!

Teingoa is ready to play!

We ran and ran...

until we needed a break!  

Then, we played "Duck, Duck, Goose!"

Our BIG hand for our teachers!

Before we went back inside, we showed our teachers the love with a big high 5!

Class Visitors

This week, we have been so lucky to have amazing visitors in our class!  On Tuesday, we had two fabulous Year 8 ladies spend the day with us! We had so much fun spending the day with Jazelle and Javana!

Jemma, Peni, Tipi, and Bryston were working very hard to learn their reading words.

Jazelle and Javana participated in our Soccer lesson, too! 

On Wednesday, we had some special friends from Class 20 come and colour with us after lunch.  We all read our books together before we went home!

Football (aka Soccer)

Last week, we were so excited to begin our Football training with our new coach Ben!  However, there was some confusion about which sport we were going to be playing.  Some of the boys thought for sure that we were learning a game like rugby that is called football, but they were soon surprised to learn that Soccer is also called Football.

We loved being able to learn with Class 20 and to make new friends while we learnt from Coach Ben!  We also had a great time learning how to control the soccer ball with our feet using small kicks, and how to stop the ball many different ways.  Coach Ben taught us a fun "traffic" game that he used to help us practice our skills.

This week, we joined Class 20 again to learn amazing soccer skills from Coach Ben!  He taught us to control our balls, and we were even allowed to kick it into a net!  We had so much fun playing a game swimming around the Hall and landing on islands!

Listening to Coach Ben give instructions.

Look how well we put our shoes against the wall without being asked!

What animal do you think we are being?

Check out our amazing skills!

Teingoa is concentrating so hard!
