Room 4 Class Blog

Room 4 carried out a tree survey for maths. We wanted to find out how many trees we have around our school. We used tally marks to count the trees. We used the book Which Native Tree? to identify the native trees we have around our school. Native trees are important because they are home to native species such as tui, kereru, puriri moths, gekos, and even bats.

These photos were taken by Room 4 students on our last day of Tennis. See our student blogs to find out how to play this cool tennis game.

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.
