We have finished our Australian Basketball Olympic Uniforms.  After sewing, stitching, threading needles, paper mache, measuring and fitting we have met our brief.

This term our technology topic has led us to inquire into the design and making of olympic uniforms.  We are learning how to stitch, thread needles with cotton, measure and cut material.
We have been looking into Australia and designing a basketball outfit.

SCIENCE WEEK

Last week the Wheki students had a fun day of science.  They rotated around all the classes learning how to make reactions, use gravity, make bubbles and much more.  We had so much fun exploring science experiments.  The best part of the day was popping rockets.  You need a film canister, baking soda and vinegar.  Give it ago!!

THERE IS NO I IN TEAM

In room 9 we are learning how to work together as a team to complete tasks.  Today we had to work as a team to make a tower out of:
string,
cellotape,
newspaper,
iceblocks sticks,
felt,
scissors

We had to try and make a free standing tower.

CHILDREN'S DAY

WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!

We kicked off the day by making masks to wear (fun).

Then we had a great time with our buddy class. They taught us how to play basketball. We learned new skills and techniques.

The afternoon was great with our first house activity for the year. We got to explore skills in new sports.

Can't wait until next time.

FERRYMEAD TRIP

STEP BACK INTO THE 50's and 60's

As part of our syndicate inquiry we set off to Ferrymead and explored life in the past. We got to play old games, attend an old school and make lolly cake after having a twist and boogie.

SPORT COACHING

Wheki is lucky enough to have special coaches from sports canterbury come in and support a striking physical education programme.

This week we played space games and enjoyed getting to know our coaches.
