Rio Olympics 2016

Immersion Assembly is always a great time to share and see what each Team are going to be focusing on during the Term. Check out our Team 1's Immersion Assembly Movie! Rio Olympic 2016 from Team 1 PES on Vimeo.

Term 3 begins!

Crazy to think we are already in the second half of the year! We have a very exciting term ahead with our inquiry focus being the Rio Olympics. As a class we will be looking at all the habits of healthy athletes - healthy eating, drinking plenty of water, making sure we get lots of sleep and heading out to exercise. Today, we started exploring the different types of sports in the olympics and created some pictures of what we saw on our iPads. Ella and Perseus created some lovely pictures of the swimming race we watched!

Our visit to the Art Exhibition!

Today we went to look at our art exhibition in the hall. All the students at Point England had created a beautiful piece of art in Term 2 which is displayed in the hall this week. We loved not only seeing our own pictures hanging up, but also getting to see what all the other children had been creating!

Drawing with our friend butterfly!

This morning we arrived to a very excited butterfly wandering around the class! He was so happy to see the children come to school and decided to join in drawing with Ella, Karma-Jade, Serena and Lynette. What an exciting way to start our week!

Butterfly Writing by Perseus

Today, we were very lucky to have Mrs. Maude bring a monarch butterfly into class. We have been looking at the lifecycle of a caterpillar so it was great to be able to see a real butterfly. Perseus wrote a beautiful story in her new writing book and drew a lovely colourful butterfly. Great work today, Perseus!

SNAG Golf!

Today, we had our first session at SNAG (starting new at golf) golf! We learnt how to do an underarm roll and started practising how to hit the ball with the roller (golf club). It was great to see everyone getting involved and trying their absolute best to learn the new skills!

Look how much we have grown!

We began with 4 beautiful children on the first day and now we have a full house! Welcome to all our lovely new friends; you have all settled in so well and lots of great learning has already happened in the first few days. Well done to all the children who kept reading, writing and counting over the holidays, it was great to hear that you kept this up - Kapai!
