To start day 3 of Health week we had a football session with Davie. He taught us that there is 4 parts of the foot you can use to kick the ball. We played lots of fun games where we had to dribble the ball and try to get the ball off of each other.

We then completed the Daily Mile. Some of us managed to do more than a mile today.

We learned that in Guatemala children make Worry Dolls. They tell these handmade dolls their worries and then put the doll under their pillow. When they wake in the morning the doll has taken away all their worries. We decided to make our own worry dolls out of wooden pegs. We used fabric, wool and pipe cleaners to make our Worry Dolls.

We are really looking forward to sports day this afternoon!

What a fantastic start Primary 3 had to Health Week. Our first activity was with Destination Judo. We had fun trying to escape from our partner and using our strength to hold each other down.

After break we had an interesting talk from Nicole who plays, coaches and referees football. She talked to us about the rules of football and showed us her yellow and red cards. We enjoyed chatting to her and asking her lots of questions.

We then walked over to the Community Garden where we had a colour wheel and we walked around the garden and through the woods looking for these colours in nature. We added little pieces to our wheel to complete it. We found flowers, leaves, petals and grasses. We had the chance to smell some herbs and flowers. one smelled like toothpaste.

In the afternoon we played some table top games. Whilst playing these games we were learning to take turns, show consideration for others, understand that we can’t always be the winner and to be happy for our friends when they win. It was a relaxing, calm time in class.

We also spent some time out in the trim trail. The weather was perfect. We climbed, shuffled, balanced, ran and took turns.  We have had a great day. can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
