Elgregoe Show

This afternoon we had the privilege of having Elgregoe come to our school. He entertained us with his amazing illusions & through his show we were reminded of our school values. We learned about ways to be trustworthy, respectful, to accept others, be responsible and care for one another. These five values will help us to have the best day at Waltham school. We sure did enjoy his energy and enthusiasm.

Sailing Pt 2

Last Friday we had an awesome ay of sailing. I was so impressed with how the children actively participated in the activities throughout the day. The team work displayed was another highlight for Kelly and I.

A very special 'thank you' would have to go out to our wonderful Mr Weaver (classroom teacher Room 10) for his organisation of this thoroughly enjoyable day. We cannot forget our fantastic helpers as well, who on this occasion were all older sisters of Charlotte, Jorja and Georgia in room 7. Megan, Karla and Pam we couldn't have had such a great day without your help.......or treats

Kelly and I took so many photos, here are a few so far and I'll upload more later on. 

Thank you Room 7 for an amazing day.

Look what I found in my pigeon hole!

After an awesome day of sailing Room 7, I come back to see this!!!

Fantastic team work everyone, we finally have the 'Golden brush and shovel'

Sailing Part 1

On Tuesday we had the first of our Sailing session. We learnt the skills that we would need for Friday.

We are excited to head to lake Rua tomorrow for our sailing trip. 

Can you remember the most important parts of the boat that you need to remember for tomorrow, room7?

Crazy Taxi

Malo Room 7
I've been looking at some online math games for our class and I stumbled across'Crazy Taxi'. I've been a little addicted to it, so I've decided to put it up on our blog. Let me know what you think. Be sure to read the instructions first. I'm sure you will all be better at it than I have been. ( I blame my new long nails, for my feeble attempts) 
See you all tomorrow, remember we come to school with a smile and try our best!

Rugby - By Brayden

On a beautiful sunny day I woke up, pumped for training! This was my first training of the season. I took one step out of the door, and I was gone! "Oh no" I said to myself, slow down you're wasting your energy. So, I slowed down and my mum caught up. As I got to Waltham park I saw a group that looked like it had kids the same age. We walked up to them and asked if we were with the right people and they said "yes". We waited for more people to come. When more arrived we ran around the park twice. Next we sprinted to a tree and back. Man, was I puffed! My coach is called Rob, he's the best coach ever. I have made new friends, their names are Max, Toby, Cory and Harry. The best part was at the end, when we got the the gear. I love my Sydenham rugby shirt and jacket!

 

T Ball

This morning we had Hayley from Sport canterbury come and teach us T Ball skills. The children worked extremely well together. There was a lot of positive interaction and good willed competitiveness during the skills & game. We look forward to more T- Ball with Hayley. 

Thanks
