Active sports- Touch rugby

Term 4 Week 3

For the past 3 weeks Katie has been teaching us some awesome tricks and skills for playing touch rugby. We have had a lot of fun going through specific touch drills and playing games that have helped us refine our ball handling skills. We also have learnt how to encourage each other and work as a team.

Term 4 Week 1

After two weeks of holidays we came back to school ready to learn! This week we have been learning about fractions and decimals in maths, how to summaries a text in reading and how to follow and write instructions in writing. We also started active sports where we are learning how to play touch rugby and we began this terms art project with Whaea Dagmar.

Wow- we have done a lot, and its only the first week! But wait, there's more.....

For inquiry our focus statement is: "Don't underestimate, always investigate" and our focus question is: how do we become sun-smart scientists? We have already learnt some interesting facts about our skin and can't wait to learn more and do experiments!

Here are a few pictures we drew of ourselves as scientists and what we hope to learn/ achieve in inquiry this term:

Just goes to show anyone can be a scientist!
