What a fun day we are having in Room 8 today! Earlier in the week we had a visitor from Sport Waikato who showed us some badminton skills. Badminton is a fast racquet sport. Today we have been outside learning how to hold a badminton racquet correctly for over and under arm striking of the shuttlecock. We have been balancing the shuttlecock and seeing how long we can keep it moving for. This is a necessary skill for enabling us to have a game of badminton.

Maths
Ask someone to challenge you to a game of "Rocket". All that is needed is a dice, paper and a pen. The aim of "Rocket" is to be the fastest to order your numbers on the rocket correctly. Remember, if you can not order a number you miss that turn.

I will post this week's Maths problem on Sunday night. Remember to comment on our blog if you think you have found the answer (let us know how you came to the answer).

Have a super weekend. Miss Gow looks forward to seeing all Room 8 students again on Monday.
