We love playing drama games

In this drama game called birthday we have a party host and party guests. The guests are given a role to act in and the host has to guess what they are. Today for example Grace was a clock, Ella was a hip hop dancer, Josh was a ballerina and Maya was a servant. The guests need to interact with the host, the audience and the other guests to give the host clues. It's lots of fun and helps us with our oral language skills and remembering to stay in character.

Tennis

We were super lucky to have Ollie come in and teach us about tennis today. We were looking at gaining control of the ball, aiming our rackets at our partners and the forehand swing. Below is a photo taken by Caitlin, our class photographer for the day. We were also had another super visitor today, Kelly-Torsten's mum. She taught us how to throw the shot put. We learnt heaps of great tips and have already made huge improvements after just one session. Thanks heaps :)
