T1 Football Coaching


We were very lucky to get some football coaching from Sport Canterbury for our Physical Education.
The girls learnt soccer from a female coach and the boys from a male coach.
We learnt to control the ball by playing games like Break the ice, Get in the hoop and Rob the nest.
Then we played a game of four a-side without a goalkeeper.






T1 Writing


We are learning to...
·      write a personal recount about something we have done or experienced
Criteria:
·      have an opening statement that tells who, what and where
·      write the events in the order they happened

·      have a conclusion or personal response

Playing Soccer

On Wednesday Room 3 went to soccer. We played Break the Ice and if you are too close, you break the ice. And if you went outside the cones you were a chaser and then you will try to get the ball off the players. And the girls were separated from the boys and it was at Oaklands School. I was happy because we won the soccer game.

Teacher comment:
You have tried hard to have all the parts of a recount.
Next steps.
Try to add some extra details and try not to use so many "and"s.

2015 Learning plan


We Are Learning To…
Fill in a Lotus sheet so that others can learn a little about ourselves.

We had to draw people so that they were not stick figures and our drawings had to be coloured carefully.
