Statistics: The Mean, Median and Mode Toads

Softball session #3

Today we learned some batting skills and started using them in our game. We learned to get our hands into "knock knuckles" position on the bat, lift our arms into an "A frame", body is side on to the ball. Step with the front foot as the ball is thrown, and do a "squashing the bug" twist with the back foot as we turn to hit the ball so our hips end up facing the pitcher. We are loving our softball sessions! 

Exploring the 'Kiwi' Identity

Created with Padlet

This afternoon we discussed the "Kiwi" Identity and what sets us apart from the rest of the world. We talked about the idea of 'Identity' being relevant to the individual. So what one person considers "Kiwi", another may not.

What is Room 12A's favourite....... (Tally tables)

For the next couple of weeks we are learning about statistics in Maths. Today we learned about Tally tables as an easy way to record data. Here's Room 12A collecting data from each other on their own tally tables.

Softball Session #2

Today we went out for our second Softball session with Alex from Sport Hawkes Bay. This time we worked on our throwing and catching skills and learned how to use a softball glove. Next time: batting!

Our interests and inspirations

Check out our first piece of art for 2014! Miss Pitt thought it would be a great way to learn more about each other's interests and inspirations.

Have a look at Georgia's, Lachy's and Imogen's:

A Softball treat

HNI is very lucky to be having expert softball players/coaches from Softball HB come to teach us how to play over the next few weeks. Yesterday we had our first session with Alex. We learned the basics of fielding and how to work the bases. We had a ball! Next session, we'll be ready to start using gloves, then bats after that. We can't wait to learn more skills!

Oral language - memorable moments

This term we will be writing recounts about a memorable moment in our life so far. Here we are practising our oral language skills, sharing those funny/scary/happy/embarrassing moments that have helped shape the people we are today.

Swim time

A well deserved cool down on a hot day.
