Tawa School Room 14 (2019)

Over the last two weeks we have continued our swimming sessions. We looked at patterns and symmetry. Firstly students made paper snow flakes. They also used the maths teddies to make patterns. We have been doing lots of exciting art and craft over the last two weeks, including I like snowmen, double facts ladybugs, night landscapes and Matariki kites.  The students have been enjoying the variety of equipment they get to use during PMP.

Week 6 was another short week with the Monday being a public holiday This weeks word of the week was 'like'. During one of our writing sessions, the students drew and then wrote the names of foods they like to eat. This linked in nicely with what we have been leaning on the Life Education truck. During investigation times this week students have been learning literacy, numeracy and te reo through our natural resource equipment. This week we started our first of four football sessions run by Kelly Sports. During this weeks session we looked at fundamental movement skills, how to dribble a ball and how to pass a ball. These were all taught through fun interactive games.  This week we had our last visit to the Life Education truck. We learnt about how our body digests food today and the importance of healthy eating. On Friday we continued with our PMP programme.
