Learning Observed
In Physical Education this term we have been learning athletics and track skills. In particular: shot put, discus, sprints with Mrs Moopanar, softball throw, hammer head throw and javelin. Our learners have been practicing technique of how to hold a shot put, discus and throw them correctly. With the hammer head throw, learners had to hold the handle with two hands, take one step forward turn and swing and throw it. With the javelin, learners had to hold it correctly and flick the javelin so it lands with tip hitting the ground first. Matthew has been a capable learner practicing all these skills. He listens carefully to instructions by being curious and always collaborates well with other learners in his group. Matthew is beginning to make connections with transferring skills and techniques.

Learning Observed
In Literacy for writing, we have been learning to think from another point of view. We read fictional stories together and learners had to think about the problem in the story. Learners then identified the main character and from our discussions they had to think from their point of view. They had to put themselves in their shoes. This meant that learners had to think about the character was feeling and relate it to the problem in the text. Learners then had to write a letter from their point of view asking for help and pointing out the problem. They then had to write back and offer up appropriate suggestions of how to fix the character could solve the problem. Here is Matthew’s work.
