On Thursday, July 24th we had a group called Coach Approach that came to visit our school and teach us some fun sports. It was such a fun experience! We got to do Ultimate Frisbee and catch like a crocodile, we learnt our basics to becoming fabulous jugglers. In TaeKwonDo we learnt how to fist punch, and a high kick. We also learnt to scream like a ninja to intimidate our opponent and if we didn’t scream loud our coach made us to FIVE push ups. In Hip Hop dance, we warm up our bodies by doing a funny chicken dance. Next, we learnt all dances have 8 counts, and we got to learn some cool moves to the song Rap City. We had a great time dancing but our favourite activity was Ultimate Frisbee. It was the ULTIMATE  FRISBEETASTIC sport! At the end of all of our activities, the coaches tested our skills and we got to win some prizes. Our very own Fragrance won a drink bottle for her juggling skills! 

We hope we get to have Coach Approach back again next Term! What a fun day we had!

Last week we had a visit from Camp Quality and they put on an entertaining little puppet show that taught our class about cancer and it’s medicine chemotherapy. Cancer is a scary illness that effects many people we know. Camp Quality have many programs for families, hospitals and much more that do their best to help those people effected with cancer. Camp Quality motto is laughter is the best medicine!! What are your thoughts about that motto? What do you think is important when someone is sick? What is something you have learnt recently about cancer or its treatments?

We enjoyed playing fun and challenging maths games that included building, measuring, puzzles and comparing.
