We did warm-ups. We ran around our heart shaped ropes. - Shona


We did a power skipping game. We jumped really fast and three people lasted the longest. - Isaac

Keeping Ourselves Safe

We have been thinking of some safety rules to help keep us safe inside and outside our classroom.

Here are some signs we made in Kidpix on our computers.

Waimea class plays rugby.

We wrote this story and took these pictures of us playing rugby.





We did warm ups.


We rolled the ball around our tummies
and around our legs.





.




We played Touch.


We had to score a try..




...and we had to touch the other players with two hands.
















Then we had to pass the ball to some one else.
We had fun!

Photography

We have been taking photos around school of things we like doing.
Then we wrote about it on the computers.

Swimming Sports

Tarn is stretching his arms and legs really straight to float like a starfish.



We are lifting our heads back with our arms by our sides so we can float on our backs.



Our arms are long and straight, our legs are kicking under the water and we are speeding across the pool.


Everyone really tried their best and
we had a great day at the swimming sports.
