Kelly Sport 23/5

Today marked our first Kelly Sports session, and we kicked things off by focusing on our rugby ball skills!

During Kelly Sports, we follow three important rules set by our coach:

  1. Listen carefully to the coach.

  2. Freeze like a statue when the whistle blows.

  3. Always have fun!

Today, we practised the “catch and hug” technique. Everyone had a great time, and we’re all excited to keep learning new rugby skills in the sessions to come!

Commenting on movies

Today for our Cybersmart lesson, we were commenting on movies from the Manaiakalani Film Festival last year. It was awsesome to watch the movies. They were funny and cool. We also had to record our comments in our EE projects.

Here is Caitlyn’s recording for a movie she watched.

Writing on Explain Everything

Today we did our writing on our ipads. First we added pictures about our story. Then we recorded ourselves talking about our story. The last thing we did was write our story. We had a great time writing our stories today.

Here are Maxwell’s, Anshu and Esther’s writing.

Creating in Explain Everything

Today for Cybersmart with Mrs Tofa, we had a lot of fun creating in Explain Everything. Mrs Tofa wrote the animals on the board and we had to insert the picture of the animal from clipart.

We also took a photo of ourselves using the camera for our projects.

Here is Esther’s project. She also recorded herself talking about her work.
