The Royal New Zealand Ballet!

Today was a special day for room four, we were lucky to learn some fabulous ballet moves and positions! Shannon from the Royal New Zealand Ballet came all the way to Muritai School and spent the afternoon teaching us Ballet dance, technical terms and miming! We learnt how to communicate without taking. It was very interesting and fun!

INQUIRY: Our Playground!

Last term the junior students talked about how we could make our school a better place. One of the most common requests was for a bigger junior playground. So this term we are finding out what makes a playground fun. We have designed our dream playgrounds and now we need to learn about some of the practical things like keeping safe and having enough space.

This week we visited Bishop's Park. It was great fun! We played on the different equipment and talked about which equipment we liked the best and why. We found out that moving fast in different directions is quite fun!
