Swimming - submerge and pick up the objects from the floor

Hello everyone, 

Last week on Wednesday and Friday, in our last swimming lesson we learned how to submerge the whole body under the water while blowing bubbles.  Then Mrs. Kaur threw some of the swimming equipment and Dedicated Dragons had to pick them up from the floor by confidently submerging themselves along with blowing bubbles. Also, some of the kids from Room 7 had joined us as well for the day as their teacher was away. Here are our pictures and a video showing the hard work:

FMS - Sprinting & Rob the Nest

Last week on Wednesday, the coaches had started with a warm up first - sprinting that means fast running for a distance. Later on, we played the game - Rob the Nest that involves running as well as the focus of the last term has been Athletics. In this game first of all each person runs and grabs an egg kept in hoola hoop and when the coach blows whistle they had to rob other people's eggs from their nest. In the end, whosoever got the most eggs wins the game. 


Here are the pictures of our determined Dedicated Dragons enjoying extremely and hope you'll enjoy them.

Whole School Assembly on Friday

Kia Ora Whanau and lovely caregivers, 


Last week on Friday, we had an amazing assembly organised by senior school kids where they performed really cool dance and shared some of the memories from the Camp as well. We were blown away by watching how much fun and enjoyment they had at camp through pictures. When we went back to class some of the Dedicated Dragons shared with Mrs. Kaur that they can't wait to go camping when they'll grow up.
