Room 3 2017

Every Friday we go to different classrooms to do the Enrichment programme. We are mixed up with our friends from around the Junior School in our 'tree' (Pohutukawa, Rimu, Kauri, Totara or Kowhai) groups. When we go to Room 3 we do a range of music and movement activities. We also do some activities from PMP (the Perceptual Motor Programme). We love using the bean bags and Happy Sticks. Here are some of us using the Happy Sticks to keep in time to the music!

Room 3 have been practicing for the Cross Country at school, for the past five weeks and at last the weather stayed fine for us to have the event on Thursday. We looked absolutely fabulous dressed in our 'House' colours. We went to Williams Park and met the rest of the children in our Houses. We then went to another part of the park and did our warm up exercises. The Year 1 boys lined up ready for their event. Mr Skilton said 'Ready, Set and Marten banged the starter and they were off. They chased the year 8 around the course and all finished the race very quickly. The Year 1 girls then came to the start line and they too sped around the course to the finish line. Well done everybody on your first Cross Country! You all started the race, tried your very best and you all finished. Fantastic effort Room 3!

Every morning we warm up our bodies and keep fit ready for our day's learning. We have been doing Jumpjam, Cross Country practices or fitness exercises. We go to Jumpjam on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays with our friends from the Junior School. The big girls on stage lead the songs and we copy their actions. Sometimes we get chosen to go up on stage and join them in the routines.
