Out in the sun for Athletics Day!

Tokomaru School enjoyed a fabulous afternoon in the lovely Manawatu sun for Athletics Day. Each year group took part a variety of events including high jump, long jump, discus, shot put and sprints.

Here are some photos from our awesome long jumpers!

Look out for the Junior Athletics photos coming up later in November.

Create a Graph

Today the children in Room 2 created a graph together as a part of our Statistics unit.
We looked at what activities the children did after school as our data.

Get down,Get low and Get out Fast!!

Today in Firewise the children learnt about getting down, getting low and getting out fast!
As a class we practised what to do in a fire and discussed a safe meeting place at school to meet.
At home you could discuss as a family where a safe meeting place would be at your house in case of a fire.

Here we are using the blanket as smoke so we get down as low as possible.

How Fast Can You Run?

Today for athletics training we did lots of running races against each other. We had to get ready between the flags, set ourselves up and then go when the blocks banged together. Despite the strong winds the children had a good time cheering each other on and making it across the line.

Practising for Athletics Day

The children in all classes at Tokomaru School had the opportunity today to practise their jumping in the lead up to Athletics day.

Miss Forman in Room 1 has put together a great set of activities for the children to practise.

Jumping into the hoops one at a time in practise for long jump and practising the scissors over the elastic for high jump.

Making Music

Today the children in Room 2 enjoyed making music with our classroom instruments.
We took turns with the different instruments playing them at the right time with the chant that we learnt today. It is in our homework books so that we can read it to Mum and Dad at home!

Come on Guys Get Firewise!

Today we started our Firewise Unit with our first focus looking at......
What is fire?
Here the children are working in groups in a sorting activity looking at the different types of fire.
