Ballistic Challenge Begins

Dear Parents and Caregivers of Ara Teina children, For the Arahoe School Ballistic Challenge, each child in Ara Teina has set themselves a personal goal to practise and achieve. It is the effort and amount of work applied to their practice which is the key focus for them. Therefore, sponsorship will be against the Time Challenge criteria. The practice grid included in this booklet is designed to help your child keep track of their progress. It also develops the concept that time spent at school and at home helps develop a skill or habit. The following is the template for each child’s Ballistic Challenge. Each child will identify which skill they want to practice and then they will set their own time limit for their skill. For example, on the sample template below the ‘sample’ child has ticked 3 skills they are good at, but chosen one to turn into a ‘timed’ challenge. The student’s individual copy of this Ballistic Challenge will be sent home with sponsor sheet, on Friday. Please see the reverse of this page for a copy of the Ballistic Challenge Goal Practice sheet for you to mark off at home, the times when your child practices their Ballistic Challenge Goals. Here is our Ballistic Challenge sheet, we also did story writing today about our ball skills goal. You will see these come home tonight. It would be appreciated if your child could look after this sheet till a later date. Thank you, Miss Watson
