More Get, Set, Go!


We have been learning to throw and catch objects with confidence. When we are catching an object we have to remember to:

1) keep our eye on the object
2) move towards the object
3) make sure we have our hands ready 

Have a look at how we are doing all three of these things while we are catching...

We saw a storylines show today at Normandale School called "And the winner is..." After we watched the show, we created a PMI chart, which is a record of the things we liked, the things that could have been better and the things we thought were interesting.

P - Plus
"We learnt that you don't have to win to be a hero." Daniel
"I really liked the singing and dancing." Isabella
"I really liked how they read  parts of different stories to us." Catherine
"We all liked the tug of war." Everyone!
"I liked the gold medals." Edward

M -Minus
"The actors could have read with more expression when they were reading the stories." Ava
"I wish they had read more of the story to us because I would have liked to hear more." Joey
"The donkey didn't have four legs!" Raphael

I - Interesting
"The power of books is amazing!" Cooper
"I learnt that winning isn't everything and that teamwork is more important." Kate
"I liked how the donkey talked to us." Ben
