We are jumping across cones and through hoops. It got wider the more we jumped. 
We played a game called Volcanoes and Valleys. We had to turn each other's cone upside down. It was really fun. 




Today in PE we learnt about jumping. To jump you have to launch, jump and land! 
Look at how high we can go.





We went on a bush walk. We learnt that if you are really quiet you can hear and see the birds.
Can you spot the Tui in the picture?

We have been working hard and got given certificates today from our Assembly.  



Assembly time!
Room 16 and our Buddy class Room 12 hosted the whole school assembly. Our theme was Pirates and being Sunsmart. 
Do you like our Taniwha pictures? 
We traced around a template, then used crayon to colour in the patterns. Finally we used blue dye over the top.
