Our Latest Visitor

 We have been looking at all the different places that have visited our blog. We have now had visitors from 30 different countries. 

We looked at one of our recent visitors and they were from Myanmar. 


We found out that Myanmar is also called Burma and that it is next to Thailand. It would take about 12 hours to fly there from New Zealand.

Gymnastics

Eljae
We have been learning how to balance on the beam. We are trying to keep our heads up with our arms and backs straight.

Some of us are trying to do dips. We bend our knees and scoop our leg down below the beam.  

A fantastic finish. Legs together and hands straight up in the air.


What is your favourite gymnastic activity?

A Safe Place

Pilato
We have been participating in a programme called Kia Kaha and today we were talking about places where we feel safe at school. We drew a picture  of where we feel the safest to play. 




Where do you feel safe playing at home or school? 
Where are some places that are not so safe?

Cracker Jack Kids

We have been learning about developing good character and improving our abilities in sports, in class and at home.

If we try our BEST

Then everyday we will get a little


bit BETTER!

We found this great video that shows what you can achieve when you practise as much as you can.
That is why we practise things like reading writing and maths every day. 


Here we are trying our best to practise our soccer skills. The more we practise the better we get!


Going for goal! Look at us working as a team!
