Week 7, 2013

This week we had a special treat. We went for a hockey skills session with Nicola. She taught us how to hold the hockey stick and how to dribble a ball. We had a great time playing a game called creep up Jack/Jackie which is a bit like 'What's the time Mr Wolfie?'.

We have had a fabulous time swimming this year and everyone has made a huge improvement on their water confidence and skills. Due to the decline in temperature swimming has now finished for the year. Fingers crossed we will get back in in Term 4.

On Friday the staff had a professional development day led by Mike Scadden on brain development. This was a very valuable day for us as it confirmed a lot of what we are doing is spot on for the developmental age of our children. Mike also shared with us insightful information and a variety of strategies and techniques to engage our children in their learning.
