Motoring into measuring!!

We have been having lots of fun in Rata 5 measuring objects in our classroom using different objects. Today we were using our hands and feet for measuring.

Verity is measuring how long her desk
is using her hand spans.

Daisy is finding out how far it is from
her desk to the door using foot paces.

Jamiee is finding out how wide our door
is using her hand spans.

Ole Soccer Skills

On Tuesday we had our 3rd session of Ole Soccer.

The skills we are learning are getting harder to do but we are trying our best to learn them.

This skill is called the Inside Cut and you have to stop the ball with the inside of your foot and change direction.

This skill is called the Outside Cut and it was quite hard to do. You have to stop the ball with the outside of your foot and then change direction .

We think we are good enough to play for the All Whites!!

Look what we've made!!

We've been talking about and looking at 3D shapes.
Here are some 3D shapes we made ourselves.

Jamiee, Verity, Jack, Diontae and Hadleigh made some cones.
We know cones have one flat face and curved sides.

Jack, Oscar, Hunter, Milly and Jade have made some cylinders.
We know they have 2 flat faces and curved sides.

We know they have 6 faces and 8 corners.

Ole Soccer

Today we had our second day of learning new soccer skills from the coaches at Ole Soccer.

They taught us some really tricky things that we had to practice. 

First of all we learnt how to drag the ball back...

Next we learned how to do rollovers. 

We had to roll the ball back with one foot and change direction.

Everyone tried so hard and had lots fun.
