Creative Fitness & Poppit Challenge

Room 8s Creative Fitness Instructors

Lockdown Fitness with a twist is how we start our day in Room 8.

Today our fitness instructor, Natalia introduced her fitness ball. 

We did some new fitness drills like Russian twists, side planks, burpees, lunges and Yoga poises like warrior 1 & 2 and cobra.  

  

Thank you Miss Lavinia for showing us the correct techniques for these exercises! 

The yoga poises were a great way to stretch, everyone should give yoga a go. 👍😀

For fitness last week Samisoni used 4 tins as weights while doing 

boxing drills, and squats.

Was awesome having our principal Mr Davis also join in.  😊👍

Distance Learning in Room 8

Since lockdown, we meet online every weekday from 9:30am - 10:30am.

This morning 5 Early birds show up at 9:15am (even earlier) to complete our early bird task.  

This week our tasks have been about proverbs and idioms.  Do you know the difference between proverbs and idioms?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 9:30 am we're ready to roll. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We always start with fitness.  

Armed with 4 tins, our instructors Matthew and Samisoni whip us into shape.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After fitness we say our karakia in Te Reo, English & Samoan.  

We did some maths revision working on angles and for some, it was easy as pie.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 10:00am,  guest teacher, Mr Margetts, introduce us to a Blog Battle Challenge.  This is my very first blog for Room 8 so I managed to dodge a bullet with this challenge.

Maybe you might like to try this Blog Battle Challenge with a buddie or with your class.

Let me end with a proverb or an idiom.  

"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today." Which one do you think it is, a proverb or an idiom?  Do you know what it means?  

I wonder if you can see any other hidden idioms in our class blog... la la la 😄

***Special THANK YOU to Mr Margetts for your help  in setting up our class blog. ***
