Gymnastics



On Thursday 20th June, the year 4, 5, & 6 went to the B grade gymnastics festival. There was skipping, pyramid, long vault, cross vault, individual floor, group floor, and beam. The groups were in Maori numbers ( e.g Tahi, Rua, Toru, Wha, Rima, and Ono). Mannix, Sanne, Ruby M, Phoebe, Jack, and Nikau, all got a ten on skipping!!! Also Sayla got a 10 on individual floor. We all had a great time 
and we all tried our best.

When  EL~GREGOE came, he put a weird hat on Riley that had a light on it and it made her look really silly. He made it look special, when she wanted a prize he asked her and the light said no but she still got a prize anyway.

harold and ingri

Yesterday we went into the Life Education truck with Harold and Ingrid.

We have been learning how to stick up for ourselves and to handle things carefully instead of being a "monster"or being a "mouse".

She has given us a puzzle book about friends.

We have been looking at how we are different to others.

Ingrid got Chico up in front of everyone else and we pretended that he had a twin. Then on the second day we  had Harold sing for us and we got stickers.We listened to Harold's jokes and played a clap game and tried to make it go as fast as possible.
