Walking from Cape Reinga to Bluff!

This is the Year 3 and 4 students on our walk

School Kits challenged us to walk the length of New Zealand in a day! We needed 278 people, walking 10,000 steps each to walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff. We reached out to the community to ask you to "donate" 10,000 steps. We also did our own walk (it wasn't quite 10,000 steps but we know that we would've done 10,000 each by the end of the day!) 

This activity was designed to help us connect with the community and to promote healthy activity. 

Thank you to everyone for your donations. We made it! Now for a holiday...

Fabulous Football

Today in our soccer training we played trucks and trailers. Someone was the truck and someone was the trailer. The trailer had to keep up with the truck. The truck had to loose the trailer. First, we played without balls and then with balls. This helped us learn how to control the ball and look out for people who might be tackling. We then played a game of football.

Ball Skills

Shared Writing by Hunter R, Rim, and Lily V: 

We have been doing PE with Shona. We have been learning how to throw and catch balls. We've been learning to roll the ball to our partner and run back to where we were. We have also been bouncing the ball and throwing it into the air. We have been using balls in different ways. It's great to stay fit and use the outside space.

Waking our brains up with yoga

We enjoyed our yoga session this morning. If you would like to do some "Cosmic Kids" yoga at home go to https://sites.google.com/a/worserbay.school.nz/matarikiwbs/morning-wake-up/yoga

Yoga in the mornings...

Here is a video of Nicola's base group doing yoga in the mornings. They learnt the sequence and made the sequence themselves. They are having so much fun and they feel relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for learning! Take a look...

Capoeira

Today we did Capoeira. It was cool because you got to do side kicks and cartwheels. It was very fun!
