Terrific Tennis

Check out our terrific tennis from today.

Milo Cricket

Wooooo hoooooo - cricket is cool!

We learned the correct way to catch, throw and hit small balls to be able to play cricket.
We need:
- soft hands
- keep our eye on the ball for catching and hitting
- look where we want the ball to go for throwing
- run fast
- work as a team

Arguments?

Room One have discovered that they love sharing their opinions and giving reasons why they think something and that is what argument writing is all about.
We have been exploring some tools to help us organise our thinking so that we can write excellent arguments.

1/ Lines of continuum
At one end you very strongly agree with something and at the other end you totally disagree.

2/Thinkers' Hats - Yellow and Black
When we use the yellow hat we are giving reasons that we see as being positive.
If we use the black hat we are giving negative reasons.
They help us to remember whether we agree or disagree.

Here is our statement can you work out what we thought?

Check back later to find out what our fantastic reasons are.

I wonder who will use their black hat and who will use their yellow hat?

I am exceptionally proud of you all!

Sailor, Spoke and Asthma

Today we had an exciting visitor to Kuranui School.
Kim from Project Energize came out to talk to us about asthma - what it feels like and what we do if we get it. Some of the children from Room One and Room Five shared what they do. Kim then told us a story about one of the Home Play challenge characters we had met earlier this year, Spoke, who discovered she had asthma. Her family got her a puffer fish to sit next to her bed to remind her to take her preventative puffer every morning.

Spoke's fish was called "Sailor" and here he is:

The stinky witch

A stinky witch enters the room, a crocked hat sits upon her head. Her eyes are as bruised as someone who has fallen off a cliff.
A firey broom stick flashes through the air as smoke fills the room. The people scatter like autumn leaves falling from the trees.
I love Halloween!

The Skeleton

The naked bones rattle while the skeleton dances in the dark.
The skeleton glows in the dark just like a glow stick.
The bones smell like they have been buried under ground for 10,000 years.
What a rattly old skeleton.
