Swimming Sports

Yesterday we went to the Southbridge Pool for the senior swimming sports. It was a great day had by all. The highlight was definitely the pyjama relay race!

Beach Ed

Today Room 5 visited Waimairi Surf Club and learnt all about being safe at the beach. We had perfect conditions and enjoyed some great swimming and body surfing.

Libby's Team

 Last Friday we got put into teams and did different 

 activities. First we worked together and made some of a puzzle.

After that we made a marble castle using all of the blocks and the marble had to go inside the castle. It worked well.

The third activity was putting a tent up. It took a little bit of time but we got there in the end.

The final activity was making up a game using the equipment that was provided. We made a game that was like a game of cricket mixed with a game of baseball.

Lucy's Team

We first made the marble castle together. The marble castle had a shoot for the marble to run through.

We all tried to put up a tent. We had different roles and worked together well.

Our team had to make up a game using certain objects, we all enjoyed it and had fun.

We had a go at trying to put a 300 piece puzzle
adding to what the other teams had done.













Throughout the day we did really well and worked as a team.

Ethan's team

We had to work together on all of these.Our best work was the marble castle we had a high drop, then it rolled into a space, were it would come to a stop.

James' Team

This is when we put up the tent.

This is when we were making a 300 piece puzzle!!!!!!

Here we were making a ramp for the marble to go down.

This is where we invented a game.

Team Challenges Rotation

Today Room 5 split into four teams led by Libby, Lucy, Ethan, and James. Their objective was to work as a team to complete four 30 minute tasks. These included putting up a tent, designing a game, constructing a marble castle, and tackling a puzzle. Please check the leader's blogs for more photos and a report.

Maths Investigations

Rm5 are working in teams to investigate different exercises. For example, how many passes can be done in one minute and how many hop scotches?

Training for Swimming Sports

Racing in teams in the awesome school pool. Kia kaha!

Teamwork Test

The great car push experiment. We found out that the more pushers we have, the faster Mr T's car moves over 20m. The biggest difference in speed was changing from one pusher to two.
