Flying paper planes

This term we have been learning how to write instructions and follow them. Earlier this week we had to read some instructions to make a paper plane. It was very tricky. Even Miss Swney had problems with it and Kate came to her rescue. After making our jet planes, we decorated them and took them outside to fly.

All lined up and ready to go

Ready.....steady.....throw

The WINNER!!!!!!!

Parachute - What fun!!!

Inside the parachute - we made a mushroom shape by raising the parachute high above our heads, putting it over them and then sitting on the edge under it. It made a mushroom shape from the air being trapped inside.

On the outside - trying to keep a ball and some beanbag friends from falling through the hole in the centre

Another Mercy Charism Award

Congratulations to this wonderful Room 3 person who was awarded the Mercy Charism Award for the great things he has been doing at school. Well done.

Olympic Day

Inside the parachute

Yesterday Sacred Heart School had our own mini Olympic games at the Velodrome. Each of our houses were allocated a country that will be competing at the Olympic games at the end of this week. The countries were chosen based on the colours of our School houses. Once we had our opening ceremony, complete with torch bearers, the Olympic oath and a march around the outside of the events stage with our flags, the games were declared open by Mr Forde. Below are photos of our class completing some of the activities.

Egg and spoon race

Rocket throwing/javelin

Hockey

At the Olympics

There were lots of games at the Olympics. I enjoyed all of the games. I even enjoyed the hockey game. Well, I wasn’t very good at it. There was a javelin game that was my favourite game because I love throwing things. There was a parachute and that was my second favourite game because we got to go under it.

The Olympics were funny because we got to go under the tent and make a mushroom. We had to sit on it. The koosh balls couldn’t go off the tent.

Mercy Charism Cross for 2012

This week we have been lucky enough to have a member of our class awarded the Mercy Charism cross for the first time in 2012.

Our Mercy Charism qualities are:

Being Fair and Just
Caring for others
Trust in God
Welcoming
Serving others
Love and Compassion

During the week anyone that is demonstrating qualities from our Mercy Charism is given a token to put into the Mercy Charism box.

Each week a name is drawn out of the special wooden box made by Alex and Annie Armstrong's dad. The cross remains in the class of the child it is awarded to until the next assembly. A Mercy cross is also given to the class to hang above the prayer table for the week.

Move, Mprove - gymnastics

This term Rooms 1,2, 3 and 5 were lucky enough to take part in the ‘Move Mprove’ gymnastics programme run by Gymnastics Southland. We learned how to correctly complete a forward roll, as well as jumping, landing, balancing and strengthening skills.

One of the other important skills we learned was to persevere, and keep trying. As the weeks progressed we all improved and we have become a lot more confident.
