Home Learning

Great to see people reading their home learning sheet and leaving comments on the blog.

Hannah! You get 200 house points for being the first person to comment on the blog this week.
Let's see who else will leave us a comment. Don't forget anyone can see our blog so you can send the link to family and friends around the world so they can see what you do in Room 9.

swimming

The year 3 and 4 team went to Pioneer pool to do some swimming lesson's.
Last week we did some water safety we had to bring our PJ's we got put into groupe number 1's and 2's.  One group went into the big pool and went on a boat, They had to wear life jackets. They had to jump off  backwards. The other group went into the small pool and swam in their pyjamas, and made pretend rapids by pushing the water with flutter boards. They made a whirl pool, learned how to huddle and get the attention of people in a helicopter. We learnt all these things so we would know what to do if we needed help in water.
Some water rules we talked about were:
Always wear a life jacket on a boat,
Always swim with an adult,
Swim between the flags,
One of the messages we learnt was if in doubt, say out!

It was fun wearing our pyjamas

Getting into the boat

It was hard work pulling people up into the boat

Learning how to huddle

Making the rapids

Olympic Wall Wisher

Hi all,
your home learning for the next few weeks is related to the Olympics. When you have an idea that you want to discuss or some questions or Olympic facts you can add them to our wall wisher!
I would love to see lots of comments up there from all of you.

I will be giving house points out to the first 10 people who post. Remember all your sticky posts have to be checked by me first so they won't come up straight away.
