Life Education programme in Weeks 9 & 10

Remember Harold?  The Life Education truck is back at Avalon for the next two weeks.
Room 2 will learn how unique and special we are, how to be comfortable with our identity and how to build up our self esteem.  We will learn how the body system works and how to look after our bodies.

This is the logo for the Life Education programme in 2015.  We are looking forward to learning more about what Moving Up, Moving On means.

Week 9 in Room 2

Ashlyn and Te-Amorangi hosted the school assembly this week.  They were well prepared and represented Room 2 with pride.  Well done girls.

Busy, busy, busy using the laptops to complete math activities in Room 2.

Reading is an important part of learning so we make the most of silent reading time.

Learning from Victoria University experts about computers and how they work was fun.  We even had the chance to send electrical currents through fruit such as a banana, kiwifruit and an orange.  That was weird listening to the high pitch tone when we connected up the fruit.

Hockey Skills Week 8

Room 2 lining up for hockey skills with an expert from Wellington Hockey.

Tluang managed to get past Kristan who was defending him.

Hold the hockey stick firmly with two hands.  Good body 'haka' position Rm 2.

Waiting for the next instruction.  Hit the ball using the flat part of the hockey stick.

Keep your eyes on the ball and bend your knees.  

Hockey skills is fun!
