BIG FOOT CYCLING FUN

Two ladies from the company, Big Foot Adventures,  came to our school with all their bikes on a long double decker trailer. We had an hour long lesson on bike safety and equipment needed to ride successfully. They talked about what we need on our feet, out legs, our bodies and our heads.
We looked at high visibility needs with jackets and back pack covers. Then we checked out the bikes and what they need by LAW and how we should check them for safety purposes every time we ride.






Our next step was to look at how to fit a
helmet properly, before lining up for a bike to ride!
Our session was in the wind and rain!! But it was still heaps of fun. Check out the Hauraki students individual blogs to see more of what they did.

Term 3 TESTING

Well we are half way through Week 3 of Term 4. Sorry to our Tuhi mai Tuhi atu classes for not posting on our class blog. We hit the term running with testing and gearing up for our school production called Pasifika Peter Pan. Testing started on Day One so we set up Novel studies, writing tumbles and Maths tumbles for the students to do independently across Te Waka Ako while the teachers tested. Everyone has worked very hard and very QUIETLY!! Many students in Hauraki will have blogged on their personal blogs about these tumbles.
We used images like this to write in any genre we chose....             






Some of the novels we have been reading are .... 

We have had the opportunity to do Bike Training this week with the company Big Foot, which is exciting, and we will blog about this next.
