Week Seven - Rugby, Dance and all Sorts of Other Fun Learning

Kia ora whanau and caregivers,

Week Seven has been an amazing week for student learning and achievement in Room 5. The students have participated in some really exciting learning experiences and have been able to take a lot more responsibility in selecting the tasks which they complete to show that they have achieved their learning. In Dance the students considered sounds and how they might represent a certain feeling (like being scared or being angry). They have considered how these feelings might be represented as movements and explored locomotor and non-locomotor movement. This study of musical interpretation began with superhero theme songs and has culminated this week in the analysis of local Māori music. 

In Physical Education Room 5 has been practising a host of different large ball sports. The students and I began this unit by working collaboratively to select three different sports to participate in and practise. The students selected; football, rugby and netball. The students have since shown great patientce, practising and developing knowledge of each sport. The skills which we have focused on were; passing and recieving, stopping and scoring, and teamwork.  






Nga Mihi,

Nicholas Shimasaki
