Welcome to Jo-jingles and our friends.
Play 2 Learn
We started off today by trying to find Coach Shane, who was hiding in the resource area playing a guitar!
We were each given a rugby ball which was our Easter egg that we had to protect and save from other children who were trying to take it from us. We had to remember our traffic light system, RED means STOP, GREEN means GO!
We played a game of frogs where we pretended to be frogs and us had to sit on our lily pad (ball) when the birds came by and when they weren't around we had to swim around with our lily pad making sure we didn't crash into each other.
At the end of our session we were all presented with a certificate which we are all very proud of. Aren't we clever!
