Golf Skills Today

Vicky from Golf North Harbour taught us some things about playing golf. This is what she told us to do -
1. Hold the club with 2 hands
2. Stand side on to where you want to hit the ball
3. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart
4. Bend your knees a little
5. Stick your bottom out a little and give it a wiggle
6. Keep your eyes on the ball and swing the club

Our New "App" - Audioboo

We have been having fun trialling a new website called Audiboo. It records us when we read our stories. It's strange when we hear our voice reading. Some of us don't like hearing our own voices.
We wrote a piece of descriptive writing about Superstorm Sandy. We tried to make our writing interesting by using adjectives. We used a Thesaurus to help us make a list of adjectives.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Super Storm Sandy link to TV One News

We couldn't have asked for more perfect timing for our latest C.O.T. topic. We have been following the happenings of the latest superstorm to hit New York. Our TVs have given us wonderful videos and the latest news. Children today are so lucky!

Gone are the days of showing them newspaper pictures - now they can watch and discuss and interpret what is happening in real time. 
Below is our latest brainstorm where we are thinking about after the storm - who are the people who will help and what will have to be done to clean up and try to get the homes back to before the disaster.

Holiday Highlights - look at our latest glog

We have been practising interviewing each other with the video camera. We have then uploaded our video interviews to our class glog. We think we are getting better at talking in front of a camera. What do you think?

 

Welcome to Term 4

Welcome back after the holidays. I'm sure the weeks will fly by and the next holidays will be here before we know it!
Here's a Wordle we made this morning. Everyone wrote their own holiday highlight word.


Our Holiday Highlights

End of Term Assemblies

This afternoon we all said goodbye to Mrs Lydford King. She has been teaching at Chelsea for 23 years and today was her last day with us. We made her a fabulous card with lots of dress designs. 

Yesterday the Bachelors had their end of term assembly. We invited all our parents and we shared lots of the learning we had done throughout the term. We read some stories, showed our houses and sang songs. Thank you to all the parents who came along.

Here's Devon welcoming everyone.
