Flying Mexican Wrestlers

During this term we have been spending time making these flying Mexican wrestlers. We covered a balloon with 3 layers of paper mâché. When it was set, cut the balloon in half and glued it onto the card. Using a simple pattern, we drew the faces on the balloon and painted it. We used rolled up paper to make the fists and added vivid to clarify the lines. They look awesome!

Hockey PD

Over the last few weeks we have had a teachers from Tasman hockey taking skills training with our class. Today was our final session with Tom. It was so much fun playing and we want to thank Tasman Hockey. Here are a couple of photos playing one of the hockey games.

Rugby Skills with Shaun

We had Shaun come in and teach us some awesome rugby skills. We found it fantastic as we got better at passing a rugby ball and playing rippa. We had a lot of fun and want thank Tasman Rugby for sending Shaun out to our school.

Swimming Sports

Absolutely fantastic day at the swimming sports last week. It was a hot day and everyone gave performed their best during their race. Student behaviour was outstanding and so was their support of other races by cheering on friends or members of their colour. Our class did really well in the relay, making the final, only to come a very close second.
