Amazing Olympians

Yesterday the sun shone brightly and we had our school Olympics Day.  The learners in Room 15 were split across a variety of countries and all had fun competing in events such as soccer, gumboot throwing, obstacle courses and ball relays.

At the end of the day, even though Fiji took out the gold medal, everyone that competed was a winner.  Check out a few photos from the day:

Some great Hyperstudio Animations

This term Room 15 has been animating the Olympics.  There have been some terrific animations - here are just a few of them.  Check out all of them on our individual class blogs:

Going for Gold .... on PENN

Today Room 15 were the stars on PENN.  Our movie this term highlights the importance of striving for our own gold medal and shows some of the things we have been learning during our Kiwisport Get Set Go session.

What are you doing to challenge yourself and reach gold?

Welcome to Term 3

It was great to see everyone back in Room 15 today and we had fun at the Immersion Assembly.  This term we will be learning about the Olympics, seeing what happens in Rio as well as exploring some of the history of the Olympics.

Towards the end of the term, Room 15 will be competing with other classes in Team 3 in a quiz competition to see how much we have learnt.  

Also this term, we will be filming for the Film Festival, training for and competing in the Cross Country as well as enjoying some lessons with Harold the Giraffe in the Life Education Caravan.  We are also looking forward to learning the poi and rakau with Whaea Saff during our Te Reo Maori lessons.  Today she introduced us to this and we are all looking forward to getting started next week.

What a fun term of learning we have - we look forward to sharing some of the highlights with our blog readers.
