This week the Year 5's participated in Education Outside the Classroom. Here are some of the exciting events that we did.
On Monday, we hopped onto the bus and headed off to the Stardome Observatory and Planetarium. Our main focus topic was based on Earth and our Solar System. We were divided into two groups. One group went into the planetarium for a night sky presentation and to view a feature show on Wildest Weather in the Solar System.
The other group had fun with their friends on the playground. The most popular attractions were the flying fox and the train.
On Tuesday, the Rockup Adventures turned up at our school. Most students did Rock Climbing for the first time. It was an amazing experience for them. They challenged themselves and their fear of height. Teamwork was encouraged for them to be successful.
On Wednesday, we walked to the Manurewa Pool and Leisure Centre. We stopped at Spider web park for a bit of a breather and morning tea. We then headed off to the pools. Students demonstrated their swimming skills that they learnt during term 1 and term 4.
On Thursday, we had school based activities. We had three rotations: tennis, t ball and cycling. The most popular one was cycling of course. We also made yummy, healthy sandwiches for lunch.
On Friday, we spent the morning chilling in the school pool, playing basketball and biking around the school. For lunch, we created our own hamburgers. We then watched movies, ate popcorn and ice cream.
Wow! What a great, fun filled week. Thank you to all the teachers, teacher aides and parents for making these experiences possible.
From all accounts and from what I have seen and heard the Year 5 students had an amazing EOTC Week ... thank you to the staff and parents who assisted during the week and thank you to the students at @RowandaleSchool for being so well behaved!
