Term 1
We are learning skills to play possession games. We have learnt how to pass and receive the
ball, how to intercept and tackle, and how to dodge and weave while
running. We have transferred these
skills to different ball games. We have
played games using small balls in hockey and large balls concentrating on
footwork. We have been working in small
teams and developed our team work skills.
We have enjoyed playing hockey and look forward to learning new skills
next term.
We have been learning about the human body and how it
works. We have researched the skeleton,
the main organs, the skin, the heart, the brain and the lungs. We had a class discussion after our daily
mile to recall facts about the functions of different body parts of the body
while we are exercising. Now we know why
our face goes red when we are exercising hard!
In Maths we have been learning about number processes. We have been recalling our number bonds,
rounding to the nearest ten and learning more about place value. We also created a paisley pattern to display
in our classroom. We have begun learning
how to read, show and record the time.
We have been learning how to write notes and organise
them. We wrote notes on some of the
characters in our class novel, the Awful Auntie, and shared them with the
class. We are all enjoying the class
novel and can’t wait to hear how it ends!
