Kōwhai News Term 3 Week 2

Every Tuesday, the children take part in a half-hour dance session, lead by Theresa. Each homegroup is learning choreography to a different song, with all four classes preparing their own dance.The dance sessions start with a warm up, including some stretches, and then the children work together on their dance number. These sessions will culminate in an end-of-term performance. Watch this space for more details!

For the next three Wednesdays, we all now join Dan from Canterbury Cricket for a half-hour cricket session on the field. Dan will be teaching key cricket skills such as batting, bowling and fielding. The children loved the first session and showed great active listening and participation skills. 

Rachel comes in every Wednesday to teach us recorder. The children have all been provided with a recorder to use which is labelled and will be theirs to use for the term. So far, the children have learnt how to hold their recorders, how to make a sound on their recorder and use their thumb and index finger to play a short song. 

As mentioned in our previous blog, the Scooter-athlon will be held next Friday 7th August from 11:30am. We will be doing a walk through of the course next week, prior to the event, and go over expectations to ensure this event goes smoothly! We look forward to seeing you all there, supporting your tamariki.
