Soccer Fun!

First it was hockey...and now it's soccer!  We are having some special coaching in soccer and it is so much fun!  After the fog cleared today, we had a great time in the sun.

The boys in action.  Look at them go!

We learnt how to play 'Stuck in the mud' with a soccer ball!

The real Easter story...

We made an information web with all the things we knew about Easter.  We tried to think of some of the 'big' words that describe the events that happened.

Our Easter information web

Then we looked at a whole lot of pictures from an Easter story and put them in order.  This was hard!  We had to make a few changes as we went along to get it all right!

Being sunsmart

We have been learning so much lately about being sunsmart!  We had to choose 2 sunsmart ideas we have at school (like sunhats and collars on our uniforms) and list all the ideas about them in a Venn Diagram.  Tricky!  It was interesting to see what was the same for both sides...which we put in the middle of the diagram.

What do you think would be the same between a collar and sunblock?  They both protect  our skin and they are sunsmart things to have!

Here are the great thinkers from blue table checking out green table's Venn Diagram.

Our Sunsmart School

What do you see, hear or feel in a sunsmart school?  We thought about this question and made a Y-chart on the wall to share our ideas.

We would see - trees, verandahs and shade sails for shade, uniforms that protect our skin (collars and buttons) and hats for our heads.
We would hear - people saying things that helped us be sunsmart: "Please put on your hat" "Please play in the shade" "Please put some sunblock on" and "Please pit some sunglasses on".
We would feel - hats on our heads, sunblock on our skin and maybe sunglasses on our faces.

More of our acrostic poems

Our acrostic poems using our names look so colourful hanging up in the classroom.  Here are a couple more to share with you:

Awesome work, girls!

Hockey action

Here is a video of some Room 10 players in action in our last week of hockey coaching.  We have had so much fun and our skills are getting better all the time!

Sunsmart hats!

We have been learning about being 'sunsmart' - protecting ourselves from God's powerful sun.  We thought of lots of ideas for sun hats...and then made them!  Of course we had to decorate them as creatively as we could...

Edrei's hat has amazing shades of blue.  It really  makes you feel like you are looking at the sky on a beautiful summer's day!

Richard loves lions...so he added one to his hat!  Luckily it has its own meat and a bone to eat so we don' t have to be afraid...
