Crew strength training

Fri, 03/07/2014 - 10:16 – diana.gerritsen

As well as developing our stamina and fitness levels we also worked on our arm and leg muscles. Squats seemed easy at first but keeping your feet together and your back straight proved to be harder than initially thought, especially after having done 10 or more repetitions. We practised this skill in our classrooms as well as in the park.

Push ups were much fun, children were egging each other on to do one more! We did discover muscles where we had never suspected them.
Climb a Martian mountain

Fri, 03/07/2014 - 10:03 – diana.gerritsen

Climbing is fun! We couldn't wait to climb as high as we could. When we got to the top it was quite scary to lower ourselves through the bars and hang still for a few seconds. Eventhough our feet were just over one and a half metres above the ground, it felt much higher! Our teachers were very proud of us because even the children who were suffering from vertigo took part in the activity! Super job!!!
Get on your space cycle

Fri, 03/07/2014 - 09:52 – diana.gerritsen

Cycling seems to come very natural to Dutch children. A lot of our children however had never experienced riding a bike before. We had bikes to share amongst 52 children. Everybody cycled (some with help from their friends) 5 laps around our school playground, whilst the others cheered them on. It was a great confidence boost for some to finally be able to keep their balance and ride independently. Others, more experienced riders did beautiful loops and shoed us just how fast they could go.
vreemde ballen, vreemde krachten

je moest een bal tillen en het rare was dat de kleine bal zwaarder was als de grote bal. je moest springen met de bal. de meester kon het in 2 sprongen. het was wel leuk. maar het is best moeilijk. iedereen had 4 sprongen of lager. geschreven door joey
vreemde tekens / strange markings

Wed, 03/05/2014 - 09:15 – mathijs.albers

Vanmiddag, toen de leerlingen reeds op weg naar huis waren en ik (de meester) terug kwam in de klas, stonden er opeens vreemde tekens op de vloer. Waar komt dit vandaan? Wie heeft het gemaakt (Aliens, een oude farao, de Romeinen)? Waar dient het voor (landingsplaats voor een UFO, een sterrenbeeld)? Wat moeten we ermee doen (weghalen of juist laten liggen)? Allerlei vragen die mij te binnen schoten. Kunnen de leerlingen bedenken morgen bedenken waar het voor dient? Vrijdag kom ik weer terug in de klas en ik hoop dat de Koffianen dan al wat antwoorden hebben gevonden...
