Kiwi Can

Heseti and Kyle led the warm up

This week we learnt to be proud of ourselves when we try something new even if we don't get it the first time.  The more we try the better we will be.
We learned the Kiwi Can Break down and even Mrs Nathan had trouble!  Zachariah and Annabel were brave enough to try it in front of everyone.  Great job guys!

 We played a humming game, boys against girls and ... the boys won.  Well done boys you were great hummers!

Room 10's Cake

We read the Kings Cake and made our story.

In the King's Cake no-one in the King's palace was able to blow out the candles on the cake.
Room 10 said "Stop!  You haven't got enough puff. I will blow the candles out!"

Here are some of the photos
