Reading
We have been doing guided reading in class and have been enjoying reading books together and talking about what we see in the pictures and what we think the story is about. We have also been doing lots of work on our sight & spelling words during language time and doing various activities on the books that we have been reading.
Balanced Lifestyle
Our Unit of Inquiry into 'Making Choices & Healthy Living' is coming to an end but we have learnt a lot about how to keep ourselves balanced:
1.) Eat healthy food
2.) Exercise
3.) Keep ourselves clean
4.) Wash our hands before eating and after the toilet
5.) Limit the time on a screen
6.) Get fresh air
7.) Brush our teeth
8.) Keep our minds active
In PE we were balanced:
In class we worked with Mr. Jon to decide what we thought were healthy choices and unhealthy choices:
The students explained why they put their picture or word where they did. We also had some students that didn't agree with each other and that led to great discussions about the different perspectives you can take from a picture.
We then walked around the class with a picture or word to find our balance. For example: if I ate a cookie then I might do some physical activity to balance that out.
On Thursday's we visit the Library. It is a really nice time for us all to have some quiet time and look through the books, read to each other and of course have a read aloud. We love reading here in our class :-)
Self Assessment - PE
On Friday the students did a range of activities in PE to assess their heart rate and what exercises made their heart beat faster and what slowed it down.
Great house team spirt on Friday too!
For your information
Next week is a 3 day week for the students. On Wednesday morning they will take part in a tabloid sports event. Students will need to wear their house T-shirts and bring a change of clothes as they may get wet.
There is no school for students on Thursday and Friday.
Have a great weekend everyone!
