Celebrating Chinese Language Week

In Room 21 we launched Chinese Language Week by having a discussion about Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese languages. We were lucky to have some experts in our class to share their knowledge with us. Today we practised counting to 10. Here are some of our efforts.

  1. Kia ora Room 21,
    Thanks for sharing these with us. It's great to see... or hear students giving new things a go. It reminds me of when a friend of mine tried teaching me a few things in Mandarin- it didn't go so well, but we had fun trying. Is anyone entering the Zodiac competition?

Tennis

This is our second tennis lesson with Lucian.  We practiced our forehand returns.  We enjoyed our lesson with Lucian.

Problem Solving and Building things

One of our tasks for EOTC Week was to set a building goal, work as a team to problem solve to achieve our building goals.  We also spent some time problem solving as individuals.  Miss Laxa set 4 tasks based on a television show from both the Philippines and USA.  One task was to balance a can on it's side by altering the water levels.  Other tasks include catching ping pong balls in cups, building a domino style track using CD cases and directing a balloon using only an air pump.

Swimming

We were lucky enough to receive professional swimming lessons by qualified swimming instructors.  We spent 2 weeks learning many swimming skills.  This will be followed up by another 2 weeks of lessons later in the year.
