We've been up to...

October So Far!

    We have done many things in 3B in October, such as finishing swimming, a few different art projects and learning new things in gym. We had our last swimming lesson on Tuesday this week. We did some safety lessons with our clothes on in the pool! "You couldn't really feel much of the water," said Noah. "When you took the extra clothes off your skin felt so clean," said Mia. "When you climb out of the pool, it feels like you weigh 1000-2000 pounds!" said Jackson. We wore clothes in the pool so we would know what it would feel like if you fell out of a boat.

     One day we walked down to the water park to collect leaves for an art project (and to play!). We painted the bumpy side of the leaves white then stamped them on a piece of black paper. Then after we were done doing that, we took sponges and put a bunch of fall colours around it. When we were done we took pictures and everybody noticed that everyone's pictures were unique and beautiful. We had lots of fun. 

     We started to learn about soccer outside and inside for gym. Sometimes we played 4 corner soccer, we did passing with the soccer ball and how to put your foot on the ball to kick it properly (inner foot and outer foot), and we learned how not to kick a ball (with our toes). After soccer, we started throwing practice. When we throw our shoulders face our faces and we have to point where we want it to go. We also have to twist. When you want to have a better aim, you step with your opposite foot as your arm throws. We played a game called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and some other games too.
