Tennis

Room 4 have been learning tennis skills this term. Our tennis instructor Pete has taught us how to hold our tennis racket and hit the ball over the net. We are also learning how to serve the ball over the net. When you serve you need to hit the ball across the court diagonally. Now that we know lots of the basic skills we will be able to have a rally. A rally is when you hit the ball over the net back and fourth with your partner.

Uber Eats - Learn Create Share

Image
Room 4 wanted to teach Stan walker how to make a delicious healthy homemade meal so he didn't need to order Uber Eats all the time. Eating fast food can get expensive and it isn't as healthy as eating a home cooked meal. Students researched how to make pizza dough and then shared the recipe with the class. Then we invented our own different pizza toppings. Our teacher encouraged us to try some toppings that we'd never tried before like mushrooms, parsley and pineapple. We hope Stan enjoyed seeing how we Learn, Create, and Share here in Room 4, at Panmure Bridge School. See our student blogs for pizza recipe ideas:  Student Blogs Link

Our Zoo Trip #1

Here are all the amazing pictures from our trip to Auckland Zoo. What an experience, we saw so many incredible animals, and learned a lot about them from reading the information signs. Our Zoo Educator Patrick taught us many interesting facts about African animals. We learned how long a giraffe's tongue is and why it's blue. We learned that a rhino's horn is made of keratin, the same stuff our hair and finger nails are made from. We also got to touch a real rhino horn! There's a lot to talk about, so I hope you like sharing these pictures at home.

Tennis Doubles - Challenges Vs Champions

Today was our last day of Tennis this term. We played doubles tennis, where there are two players on each side of the tennis court. If you win the first rally you get to stay in and challenge the champions. Then if you win two rallies in a row you become the champions. To become the champion you need to use your tennis skills such as holding the racket correctly and hitting the ball over the net. You also need to watch the ball and move towards it. I really enjoyed playing doubles tennis because our team work was great and we got to play lots of rallies.
