Stuck in a game

We were lucky enough to have our Duffy Theatre show come to visit today.

The show was called "Stuck In A Game". 

A lot of our alongside could relate to Sam's intense tantrum when the game went wrong. 

Duffy got stuck in the magic brick game. His cousin Sam didn't like books, but had to read Duffy's book to save him.

We love our pool

(Here's a post that got stuck in the drafts in term 1!!!)

The warmer weather has been great for heating our pool again! It was getting a bit chilly last week!

The cone game.

In pairs, we listen to hear the call (heads, shoulders, knees, etc...) when "cones" is called, we have to be the first to grab the cone. If you win, you find someone new. If it's close, then we play rock scissors paper to see who wins.

It was tricky when "toes" were called because it sounded like cones!

We split into four groups and were given a scenario to act out. We then listened like good audience members, as each group performed their scenarios.

We had to act out the incorrect way to show respect... and then reinact it showing the correct way to show respect.

Our energiser had us working together to make a: 

Maunga (2 people)

Awa (3 people)

Waka  (4 people)

Iwi (5 people).

Making Maunga

It was really hard when we had one extra person and someone had to sit out. We had to show respect while working it out to solve the problem. 

We talked about what a treaty is and the kind of things we might need to include.

Pool

It's fantastic to have a school pool on these ridiculously hot days we've been having here in Canterbury this summer.

Kapa Haka kicks off

It's fantastic to be able to use our new outdoor space for Kapa Haka!
