2021 Getting to Know Each Other

We had great fun this afternoon playing some balloon games to get to help us to get to know each other. First, we had to get into groups of 8 and introduce ourselves. We weren't allowed to be with our best friends. Then we had to pass the balloon and say a team member's name. We also did up and over races and keeping the ballon in the air not using our hands. We worked out that the games were easier if we collaborated and communicated.

 

Spheros and Beebots

 

We had a fun session drawing chalk tracks and making the spheros and Beebots move around them. Have you ever tried using them?

Burger

 Here is another poem from Nigel's literacy group. This is a rhyming couplet poem about burgers.

Meat pattie juicy in a bun,

eating it up is a lot of fun,

Biting into it can be quite a mess,

cheese, bacon and tomato is the best,

Once I’m finished I don’t want more,

Because my tummy is kind of sore.

The Piwakawaka

 Nigel's Literacy group shared some ideas and came up with this Diamante poem about the Piwakawaka.

Piwakawaka

fluffy, tiny

flitter, flutter, swerve

brown feathers, black tail

Swooping, catching prey

pretty, wonderful

Fantail

Addison's Book

 Kia ora everybody, My Dad and Me have been making a little book about the last Quite Write story I made, The waterfall of mud and we have finally finished the book. We also added some pictures to it. This is what it looks like.

Riley making a difference!

Everyday since school has been back, Riley spends 20 minutes after school picking up rubbish to help keep the school clean. His mum is super proud of him. Some days his friend Mason will help.

Tic Tac Toe Basketball

For Monday Mashup, Urmi's group learned a new game called Tic Tac Toe basketball. You had to play against another team to do was score a basket. Then you could add a bib into the Tic Tac Toe grid. The first team to get three bibs in a row won. It is lots of fun and you practice your dribbling skills and shooting skills.

Have you ever played this game before?
