Public Library

Every fortnight we go to the library with our buddy class - Ricoh Room.  We each have a buddy and they walk with us to the library.  They help us choose our books and read books to us.  We really enjoy and look forward to going.  We now go fortnightly on Tuesdays at 9am.

Hebe and Mungo Ukulele

Hebe and Mungo are learning the Ukulele from John Willers.  They came into the class to show us what they have learnt.  Well dones guys!

Isabella's Puppies

On Friday afternoon Isabella's mum Robyn brought in 3 of her golden retriever puppies. We thought they were very cute and enjoyed having them come visit. 

So cute!

They are heavy!

Ashleigh and Rebekah want one, Mum?

Zoe had the special touch. 

Last Hockey session

We had our last hockey session today. We played a game where some children had to knock down the cones and the rest of the children had to pick them up.  

We played a game like musical chairs but with hockey sticks. When the whistle was blown we had to run to a stick and make the hockey position. 

Our hockey positions. We have learnt so much. 

Before we play a game we practise passing the ball to our partner, remembering to stop it first. 

Then we play a game of hockey. 

Thank you Michelle we loved playing hockey. 

If you want to play hockey there are free sessions called fun sticks on Saturday morning. You don't even need your own stick. 

Here is the information from the last newsletter. 

PLAY HOCKEY!
