Softball with Marty Grant

Last week we were very fortunate to have one of the world's best softball players visit us at CTS. Marty has played for the NZ Black Sox and the team have won the Softball World Cup many times making them one of NZs most successful teams.
Marty taught us how to catch and pitch a ball correctly and how to bat. The dance Marty taught us to remember how to pitch was great. 1, 2, 3, 4!
The best part was playing a game, heaps of us got home runs. Check out our super action shots.


Measurement in Room 10

For the last two weeks in Room 10 we have been measuring and converting units in maths, so far we are still converting between metres, centimetres and millimetres.  But we are hoping to move onto converting km by next week and using this knowledge to help us with area and perimeter.  We have measured the length and width of the top court, field, hall playground etc.
