Grandparents Day

Here are some photos from yesterday of our folk dance.

MTG Museum Visit

Maths - Fractions

Today we investigated all the different ways to cut a piece of paper in half. This is helping us to understand what a half really is...

Cross country race day

Here are the photos from our cross country race this morning!

Calendar Art 2016

Here is our Kandinsky inspired art work for this year's calendar. We used what we have been learning about shape to make some very colourful art!

Olympics day

Today was our HNPS olympic day. We were representing the UK. Here is a photo from our opening ceremony.

Discovery Learning - Static electricity

On Friday we looked a static electricity for Discovery Learning. We charged up balloons by rubbing them on our jumpers then experimented by picking up paper and sticking the balloons to the wall. 

Get down, get low, get out!

We have been learning about Being "Fire Wise" with the New Zealand Fire Service. Here we are practising getting down, getting low and getting out. This will help us survive if there is a smoky fire at home. 

Life Ed

We have been visiting Harold the Giraffe recently. He has been teaching us how to be a good friend, and how to be a "bucket filler".

We read the book "Have you filled a bucket today?" We talked about what we could do and say to fill each other's buckets. 

Gymnastics

Every Friday we practice gymnastics in the hall. Look at our great moves!

Buddy Class time with Room 6

Today we visited our buddy class. They taught us how to weave paper strips through slits in a piece of cardboard to make a piece of artwork. They used their skills to weave plastic bags into clothes. Have a look at these! 

Jump Rope for Heart 2016

Our new inquiry - Space...

We have started our inquiry into space and what is up there! 

"The Gingerbread Man" play

At assembly today, Maddie, Noah, Jacob, Ollie, Cooper and Thomas performed the play "The Gingerbread Man" for the Junior school. Watch it here!

Science experiment - How much sugar is in different drinks?

We looked on the back of different drink bottles to see how much sugar is in them. We found out that 1.5 litres of 7 up has over 150 grams of sugar in it. Crazy! We also looked at what we were left with after we evaporated all the water from a  bottle of coke. It didn't look very nice! 

Make a wish day!

Autumn Poems

On Friday we went outside to roll around in the leaves. We used our senses and tried to write what we could see, hear and feel. Here is our class poem we all wrote!

Autumn leaves do cartwheels on the grass.

They twirl like tornadoes.

They sound like the angry wind.

They feel spiky like a hedgehog.
