WELCOME  TO   2014    IN    ROOM 4

    Welcome back to our blog. We are all excited to be back at school and are looking forward to a great year of fun and learning. 

OUR ROOM 13 BUDDIES

Most Fridays we have the chance to meet with our buddies. We share our learning with them, and work on activities together. One of our activities was to work together to draw a dragon. We always look forward to seeing our buddies and like working with them. 

Thanks Room 13....                              You are GREAT !!!!!!

VISIT FROM THE TOYMAN

During our study about toys and pastimes we had a visit from the Toyman. He showed us some toys from the past and we were allowed to play with them. 

The toys were made out of wood.  Our favourite toy was the big marble run. It was interesting to see some of the toys our Grandparents and Great Grandparents would have played with.

TURBO TOUCH

During term three we learnt how to play turbo touch. It is a fast running and passing game. You start the game by tapping the ball and score points by touching the ball down behind the try line. 

GAMES OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS PLAYED

On the last day of term we tried playing some of the games that our parents and grandparents might have played. We played hula hoops, skipping, elastics, skittles, hop scotch and knuckle bones. We realised that we still play some of these games. 

It was fun to learn some new games and activities, and it was a great way to finish our study about Toys and Pastimes.

LEISURE ACTIVITIES FROM THE PAST

As part of our study about toys and pastimes we have been looking at fun activities

people used to do in the past. When Mrs Hazeldine was little she used to live in

the country. Her school used to have a Flower Show and she would make sand

 saucers. We had a go at making our own sand saucers. They were great fun to

make and looked bright and colourful.

FRIDAY FUN DAY

A few weeks ago the Kiwi Sport Coaches came for a Friday Fun Day. We played Volleyball and Tennis. This term we are learning to play Turbo Touch. 

It is a fast and fun new game to play.
