Making Connections

Today we started putting together our 'About Us' hexagons.  We made connections by thinking about how I was similar to other people in T3R. Look at the connections we made.

The Best Part of Me!

Week 5 - Monday 29th February

The Best Part of Me

This week in T3R we will be writing descriptions about a part of our body that we think is our best part. We would love it if you could have a discussion with your child about a part of their body that they think is the best part. It could be their eyes, hair, nose, elbow, knees, legs, lips etc. The children will be describing this body part in detail and explaining why they believe this is 'The Best Part of Me'.

Thank you for discussing this weeks writing task with your child.

Swimming

We have really been enjoying our swimming sessions especially on hot days!!

Hockey Sessions

Today we had a hockey session with Canterbury Hockey Association. We learnt how to hold the hockey stick and dribble the ball. At the end of the session we had a short game. We had lots of fun and are looking forward to our next session.

FIE in Action

Today we had to plan, communicate and cooperate to move ourselves from one end of the court to the other using only a chair and a hoop.  We had lots of fun!  When we think about our plan it makes it easier to be successful.

  

Some of our reflections after completing the task: 

A good number of people made getting on the chair easy - Lorrin

4 people in the group let us have an extra chair.  It made it easier - Austin

We worked as a team - Aymeric

Working Outside

Thank you to the wonderful Mr Coles for putting up our shade sails and giving us an outside space to work in.

Weaving our Kete

After reading the book 'Have You Filled a Bucket Today', T3R created their kete's.  We are hoping to be able fill each other's kete's everyday through our actions or words.

Whanau Hui Week 1

To end week 1 Team 3 Red and Team 3 Green met together for Whanau Hui time. During our time together we shared our learning spaces and then taught each other a maths game we had learnt during this week.
