Learning to throw a ball using an 'underarm' throw

Bryony comes in every week from NCLI (No Child Left Inside) and we learn many fundamental skills during her visits. This week she was teaching us how to throw a ball using and underarm throw.
Then later in the day we played bucket ball to use those same skills again.

  

Snakes and Ladders

We have been learning how to play 'snakes and ladders' some of us already knew how to play (so we had some experts) and others had never played it before. Sorting out which way to go along the line after going up a ladder was a bit tricky but with support we all ended up having a great game.

  

Swimming Fun

         

We are swimming everyday and our school pool is so warm.

Taylor's Weta's

Today Taylor brought in some Weta's he had found while stacking the fire wood.

Aren't they amazing!

   

Discovery Time again

These short weeks are great!
We have had another Discovery Time today....what fun!

Todays activities were: Ice and paint, stencil drawing, puppets, pet rocks, construction with boxes, and time with Taylor's baby chicks.

We are working on "Managing Ourselves"....Today we were looking at using manners....
This will probably be our focus next week too.

Discovery Time

Discovery Time is one of our favourite times at Hope School. It is where we get to practise lots of life skills.
The  Life Skill we are looking at this term is 'Managing Ourselves' and today we were specifically looking at the skill of 'Making good choices'.
The activities we had were: Planting seeds to watch them germinate, Water play, Flip boards with bean bags, Making patterns with gems and Playing with the blocks.
