Basketball and Swimming!

We have been getting a lot of exercise! 

This morning students had another great swimming class. Children practiced lots of skills like floating, jumping and improving swimming strokes. Tomorrow is our last swimming day.

This afternoon, boys and girls in room 4 and 5 practiced their passing and dribbling skills in the gym.  Students had fun playing a dribbling game where only half of the students had balls while the other half tried to steal one without touching the dribbler. We also learned that in basketball you cannot hold or bounce the ball with two hands once you start dribbling.  This is called a double dribble.  In our game, if a student double dribbled, they needed to put down their ball and had to go try to steal away another.

Everyone will probably sleep well tonight!

Reminder:  Students in room 5 have started adding our pictures to a class map of the world showing where our ancestors come from.  Children can bring in their information sheet on their ancestors (and any artifact or picture they would like to share) at any time so we can add them to our map!
