Trip to the Botanical Gardens

On Friday, 25th August we were so excited to visit the Auckland Botanic Gardens. When we reached there, after settling in we ate our morning tea and carefully listened to the safety instructions given by Pragna.  

Here are our photos and videos for our Whanau to have a look:

Learning Skipping Skill - Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS)

Kia Ora Dedicated Dragon's amazing whanau, 

We're really excited to share our learning about the skipping skill through various games. We're very fortunate to have FMS team coming to our school every Wednesday to make us experts in sports. This term their focus is to teach us how to skip properly.

 
So there were three different rotations and they started with Paper, Scissors, Rock; Over and Under, and Butterfly Tag. WOW!!! We had so much fun every time they come with lots of cool games. Can't wait for the next session with FMS on Wednesday... 👍👍👍 😀😀😀

Here are some pictures and videos were taken by our teacher and we hope our whanau will show their appreciation & love by commenting on our BLOGS.
