This term our kiwisport is basketball. We are having lots of fun at the moment learning to dribble the basketball properly.
Happy birthday for in the holidays Joseph! We hope you had a great time - It sure sounds like you did!
Last term for kiwisport we were learning all about gymnastics. We learned about balance, motorbike landings, shapes and rotations. Here are a few photos we snapped. It was Eva's Birthday on the 22nd of June! Happy birthday Eva! We know you had a fabulous time and a fabulous party!
We have been very lucky today! Some of room 16 students have been working with our children on a programme called 365. We are able to great presentations and documents at home using this! Today in Room 15 we have been talking about how helping people makes us feel very happy. We had a look at the Give a Little website and talked about how we could help these people. Some of the children were keen to donate to some of the causes because they knew this would make them feel very happy.
I know that lots of our families can't afford to donate, but the children wanted me to put the link here just in case you were able to. We are really enjoying helping people at the moment and we have realised that happiness is contagious. Today in class we learned all about money from a lovely teacher named Tessa.
She talked to us about how money has changed over time and time traveled - She started off being a caveman and used mammoth tusks to trade for food. Mammoth tusks were like money in the old days. - Then she was a pirate and she said she had more treasure than anyone. She had a treasure chest full of gold coins and jewels and she couldn't lift it on her own. - After that she was a DJ and she had lots of notes. The DJ kept losing his money and wasn't putting it in a safe place. We decided it is much easier now because money and credit cards are nice and light. Safer places to keep money are: - Wallet - Bank - use a card and a pin number to take it out. - Piggy bank There are lots of different cards: - Eftpos card -Spend our own money that we have in the bank. -I can use it at the ATM or use it at a shop to buy something. -Declined - There's no money in my bank account -It won't work at the shop either |
