On Tuesday morning Ti Kouka had some special visitors. Our friends from Ahuriri who will be joining Huritini next year came to have a play in the studio with us. The Ti Kouka children were great role models and enjoyed talking to some new friends.

Toy making day
On Wednesday we designed the toy we wanted to make. Our toy needed to use a force.
The tricky was folding the paper to make the puppet by Serena
On Friday we made our toys. Can you guess which force our toy uses?
pushing?
pilling?
gravity?
twisting?
air resistance?

Run Jump Throw
This term Huritini are enjoying Run Jump Throw rotations for PE every Tuesday.
Run Jump Throw is a foundation programme for teaching athletics specific skills. It’s based on the philosophy that the development of skills, in a fun participant-centred environment, is the key to participation. The emphasis is on the development of fundamental movement patterns specific to athletics and helps prepare the children for the events they will participate in higher up in the school.
Here are some photos from the Throwing rotation:
