Andy's Garden - Ria

Interview with Ria:

What was your favourite part about being in Andy's Garden?

"Singing. My favourite song was 'The ants go marching in' because it is a long song."

All about spiders!

My favourite piece of writing:

 A spider is an arachnid. It has an abdomen. It has a head. It has a thorax. It lives in houses. It lives in bush walks. It catches flies. A moth is an insect. It has dull wings. It's antennae look like feathers. Moths wake up in the night and moths go to sleep in the day. Moths have triangle wings. A moth starts as a cocoon. A millipede has more than 14 legs. It crawls really fast along the ground. It has a hard shell - Ria

Our Hockey Skills in Term 2

We have been learning lots of Hockey skills this term. 

Here is what we can do:

We can hold the stick with our Left hand on top, thumb pointing down, and our Right hand down near the end of the grip - Esther

We can hit the ball with the flat side of the stick - Cruze

We can 'travel' with the ball by pushing it with our stick carefully - Lochlin and Ria.

We can 'trap' or stop the ball by turning our stick and putting it in front of the ball - Mika.

We can pass the ball to a partner by standing side on to the ball, looking where we want the ball to go, then pushing it with our stick - Hannah and Charlotte.

Ria's Bonds to 5 activity

Ria recorded all the different ways that we can put 2 numbers together to make 5.

A Stingray!

Ria found a stingray when she went to the beach last weekend.

It was in the shallow water. When the tide went out - it got stuck on the sand and died.

"It felt squishy. It had a bleeding tail" - Ria.
