Term 3 Inquiry topic...

Soccer skills

Rm 24 have been learning how to use their feet to pass a ball, dribble, score a goal and work as a team. Thank you to Coach Chelsea and Coach Trey for teaching us all these new skills and techniques to help us keep fit and active. The way the children learnt to play this sport over a period of 8 weeks is a great credit to them. They practiced under Te Kapua using colured bands and then moved to the fiels wearing coloured bibs. Each child listened to instructions and followed the rules of the game football also known as soccer.

MOTAT trip!

On Thursday 30th June Team 2 travelled by bus to vist the Museum of Transport and Technology in West Auckland. We learnt about how old telephones worked and that people used morse code to communicate. We were very excited to have a ride on the tram past Western Springs lake! There were lots of pulleys and levers and things that move using engines such as old cars. We also learnt about new technology by learning how to program mini robots to move some cardboard tubes around on the floor using different directions. Thank you to Damon for teaching us these new skills, from Mrs Carter and Rm 24.
