Welcome back to term 2!
I hope you had a lovely holiday and are all refreshed ready for the term.
Topic – We look at ‘ What’s under my skin. We are learning about how different actions effect what is underneath our skin. The children will understand how and why we need to look after ourselves through healthy eating, exercise and protecting our own body. Students will understand how their Hauora works as their overall well being.
Physical Education – Our focus for syndicate sport is large ball skills, e.g. Basketball, Netball and Soccer. This is also integrated with syndicate sport.

1. The book we have read in class today.
