Fun on Fridays!

It was "Free Choice Friday" in the pool today.

This is when we get to play with any gear we want to and we get to splash around and enjoy ourselves with beach balls, tyres and diving rings.

Here is our class playing in the pool.

Sausage Sizzle

Wow, look at the long queue...

We are raising money for the Middle Syndicate this term by doing a sausage sizzle. Here is Sydnee and her mum busy cooking the sausages on the barbecue. They had to cook 50 sausages today!

You can buy a sausage and bread and a juicie for $2.50 every Friday until the end of the term.

Motueka Museum

The middle syndicate went on a trip to the local museum to learn more about the history of our town. It was very interesting. We found out that the Motueka Wharf has not always been where it is today. It used to be further up the coast near the Kumaras.

We also spent time at Memorial Park playing games such as long ball which Mrs Latimer organised for us and we had a picnic lunch under the trees. It was a l-o-n-g walk from school in the hot sun. Everyone did very well and it was great to have so many parents come along too.

Trip to the Museum

Clever Kids

Skateboarding is proving to be a very popular lunchtime activity at the moment. Shaquille and Bailey are busy learning new tricks on their skateboards....well done boys, it's great to see you getting involved and making great choices at breaktimes.

Stilts are also being used a lot these days in our playground. Andrae and Jahmalaki are learning to balance and walk on the stilts without falling off. Good thing you are practising on the grass girls, so you won't hurt yourselves too much if you do fall!

Fitness Interchange

Keep going Laiana - you can do it!!Only 15 seconds to go.....

This year the middle school are doing fitness interchange between each of the 3 classes. Each teacher takes a different activity and we rotate around week by week.

Mrs Latimer is taking ball games, Mrs W-A takes jump jam and Miss R takes circuits.

For circuits,we have 3o seconds to do as many star jumps as we can and then we record our scores. We do the same for sit ups, step ups, press ups and skips. The idea is to try and improve our scores each day and hopefully improve our fitness levels at the same time!

How good is your maths?

For maths this week we having been developing our knowledge of whole numbers from 0-1000. We are learning to order numbers from smallest to largest and put them in sequence.

We had to stand in a line according to the number we were holding - Shaquille had the smallest number which was 12 and Ashlie had the largest number wth 91.

Miss Robinson gave each of us a card with a number on it. Without speaking to anyone in our group we had to arrange ourselves in order and hold our cards up so everyone could see if we had got it right or not...here you can see Lyric, Sam H, Jay and Ashlie with their sequence. Did they get it right?

Bailey, Paige, Macey and Sapphire were very quick at doing this activity
Most of us are REALLY REALLY good at ordering numbers already and so Miss Robinson will have to give us harder numbers next time!
