Senior fun day recount

Today, the 7th of December Totora team had a fun day. There were six choices. One was cooking, making a candy cane mouse, science, slip-n-slide, sports and swimming. I did all six of them. Sadly it took almost all morning tea to line up for candyfloss. The rest was fun though. My favourite activity was the slip-n-slide because we ran in groups or by our self and slid down on our stomach and our knees. It was amazing!

Athletics Training

At athletics training we did Long jump High jump shot-put and running sadly we did not do discus.In high jump we learnt to do the scissor jump and that is were we jump in a scissor shape with our legs and land on our feet. In long jump we learnt to jump from one foot and land with two feet that way we get more power into your jump. In shot-put we learnt to lean back then use your body to gain momentum and push the ball not throw it. In running we learnt to lean forward to propel your body in front of you also don't stop sprinting until you have crossed the finish line.

End of year goals

Maths,
I would like to work on my times tables because I don't know very many and division because it is linked to times tables.

Reading,
I would like to work on reading fluently so when I am reading out loud people can understand me better and comprehension because when I read I don't considerate on the words.

Writing,
I would like to work on using more describing words because I want to make my writing more interesting and make my writing longer.

Exploration Rotations

A few days ago we did exploration rotations. The choices were Marble run, Knitting, Clay moulding, Sewing, Art, Photography, Chess and Origami. Sadly chess and origami were cancelled. I chose Clay moulding it was really fun. I made a birds nest, a snowman, a cacti and a flower. I did it with Kim and Ysabella. It was really interesting Ysabella made a rose it was stupendous it had so many very detailed layers. I loved it. The next activity I chose is Knitting I am really excited for that.
 

Felt Tikis

On Tuesday the 26th of June we went on a trip to the museum were we made a Tiki out of felt. The reason we went to the museum was to learn about tikis and there back story. My tikis head is tilted to the side and the only tiki that is bright green. It has beautifully stitched button eyes. My tiki has a beautiful pair of pants with purple patterned buttons on them. Tiki has one big green eye and one little blue eye.
