Throwing Practice

Today Dianne from Project Energise came to school to teach us how to throw correctly.
We learnt:

• to hold the ball correctly (hold it with your fingers not in your palm)
• not to hold the ball tightly
• to hold our arm out straight (the ball will go in that direction)
• draw a circle in the air with your arm that's holding the ball
• take three steps before you throw it
• if you look away the ball goes in the wrong direction
• face sideways when you throw
• one foot points forward and one foot faces sideways

It was windy and wet so we went to the school hall. We had to use soft throwing toys to throw.

What do you think we did well?

Our new topic

This terms topic is "From Milk to Ice-cream"

So far we have;

• started a new title page
• started a KWL - what we know and what questions we have about the Dairy Industry
• answered a question "Where do dairy products come from" and written down our ideas
• we have looked at how milk is made

So far we want to know:

1. What happens inside a cow when milk is made?
2. How many bottles of milk are produced in a year?
3.  How is ice-cream made?
4. How is milk used to make other dairy products?
5. What are the different jobs at the Fonterra Milk Factory?
6. How do the machines at the factory work? 

Please make a comment about what you know about cows, dairy products or the dairy industry.
