Travelwise Week

We celebrated Travelwise Week at Titirangi School!

On Wednesday we attempted to have the longest 'walking school bus' from the Titrangi Library to School.

 

On Friday we had Fancy Feet!

 

 



Gymnastic stories

Yesterday some of the juniors went to gymnastics and I started on the bars. You had to do a forward roll on the bars and next I went on the rings and you had to do flips on the rings. Then I went to the rope and you had to drop on it and it was fun. Then I went to the tramp and we did free choice. We got to jump and everything.

I am balancing like a tree but I am on a beam. I am up in the air like a bird with my arms out like an aeroplane too. There were people with me to help me stand on the beam.

On Thursday I went to gymnastics and I went on the bus. When we got there I had to sit on the mat with my number and when they called your number you could go to your activity. First I swung high as the sky. I love the gym because you can jump on the trampoline.

I am balancing on the beam like a cat on a tree. I'm looking at the clock so I can get off the high beam like a big spider staring at you.
By Rachel

On the trampoline we did jumps as high as we were flying. We did star jumps and hands on feet. We balanced.

A week ago we went to gymnastics. I bounced on the trampoline like a pink bunny. I went again and again.

Paper pin wheels

We made paper pin wheels in class and investigated what kinds of energy can be used to spin the wheels.

• We could use mechanical energy to move them with our fingers.
• We could blow on them and use the chemical energy in our body to transform and make wind to turn the wheel.
• We could use magnetic energy to move it if we put a paper clip on and used a magnet.
• We could run outside and use the wind energy.
• We also made a pin wheel from metal and it could even move using heat energy.

Gymnastics! A lot of fun.
