We are working on performing our duties for assembly.  We have learnt alongside our buddy class a new dance, drumming and how to make Tapa cloth.
We are learning to have confidence in ourselves and our abilities.  Our buddies are super supportive.

Swimming


Swimming Challenges

We have had so much fun learning and progressing our skills in the pool. We have learned how to hold our breath, blow bubbles, and kick from one end of the pool to the other.
We can't wait to swim. The children check each day to see when it is their turn.
The instructors are teaching us many new techniques.
The children really enjoy swimming and laughing with their friends.

Having fun!!



Physically Active Play
Trip to Tristar










For the last few weeks all the children have been enjoying the  learning experience of exploring all the gym equipment at school.  I have seen the children grow in confidence and skill in balancing, rolling, jumping, and using the parallel bars. The children have improved their flexibility and co-ordination. Today was another opportunity to put all the skills they had learned into practise at the gym.
The children had great fun in playing with all the equipment that extended the skills we had learned at school. We loved learning in a safe and bouncy environment.
What an awesome opportunity to extend physical challenges and encourage more learning!! Gross motor skills are important for all aspects of life.
