Get Set Go : Kicking

Today we learnt how to kick a ball correctly.
We all went to the church hall because it was raining.
It got a little bit crazy with balls flying everywhere.

We have had a fantastic day today dressing as super heroes and participating in Get Set Go games.

Here are a collection of pictures showing the day's events.

Wish List Shopping

Today some of the students made a list of people in their family then went shopping using the junk mail. They had to find a gift for each person and then work out how many $10 notes it would take to buy that gift.
The students had a lot of fun picking presents without a budget!
