World Cup 2014 in Room 7

We are all very excited in Room 7 as the football world cup has begun. Every person has drawn out a team to follow and we will be learning about the country our team comes from. Mrs H will be showing some of the football games (that have an 8am kick off time) before school in Room 7. If your child would like to come and watch them they are allowed to come to school at 8am to do so, as I will be supervising them. Please check the FIFA website for information and times for games. What a great spectacle it has been already.

Homework W6

MoveMprove

We are steaming our way through the MoveMprove sessions with our fantastic gym instructors. We have learnt a lot of great skills and are having a lot of fun each Thursday. Check out some of the things we did this week.

Waiting enthusiastically for our turn.

Listening carefully to the instructions.

We warmed up with a fun activity similar to musical chairs but with hula hoops.

We had to use co-operative skills to all fit in the hoop.

Working with a buddy to practise balancing and tucking.

We had to use a partner to walk together using our hands and feet. It was tricky.

An even harder challenge was making a line of 4 people to move across the floor with.

Mr Mallard visits

On Thursday this week we had a special visitor to our school. Mr Trevor Mallard from the Labour Party came to speak to the teachers and the senior students.  We asked him a lot of questions about what he liked about being a member Parliament and how he got into politics. He talked to us about a typical day in Parliament and the important issues for him as an MP. Education was a top priority and passion.
