Friday Good Vibes Term 1, Week 5.

Congratulations to Ava and Eric who received our Friday Good Vibes card today.


  •  Eric got his card for always lighting up the classroom with his wonderful sense of humour! 
  •  Ava received her card for her immaculate bookwork! She is also a sports whizz who uses her skills and knowledge to help others during PE time. 







Softball.


Today we have also been lucky enough to have a softball session with Softball Canterbury. We learnt how to throw the ball to each other using an overarm technique. We enjoyed being able to catch the ball with a glove, for some of us this was our first time.

Youthtown!

We have had a really sporty Friday. This morning at 8:50am we had our first Youthtown session. Youthtown is an organisation who comes into Casebrook to deliver programmes which develop skills and knowledge.
Our term 1 focus is
Ki O Rahi!
This game teaches us how to..
  • Run
  • Sidestep 
  • Be evasive
  • Catch and pass with one hand
  • Block others 
  • Improve our accuracy with shooting and throwing.

Casebrook Challenge

Some of our Room 1 students have really been getting into our Casebrook Challenge programme. It has been great to see a variety of challenges completed . This week Abbey baked a cake for the class as one of her challenges - we can confirm it was delicious!



 






Name Art

This week we have produced some awesome name art. We focused on blending pastel colours to create a tone that makes our art stand out. We were also creative with the letters and lines in our names.

Adventure Days!

We have really enjoyed our year 7 adventure days. So far we have been lucky enough to go the the high ropes course at the Groynes and surfing at Sumner Beach. As a class we really enjoyed getting to know each other better and learning about ourselves and other people outside of the classroom. We had great weather which was a bonus. A huge thank you to all of our wonderful parent helpers.  Enjoy looking at some of our photos.
