Kaitangata Twitch: the class reader.

This is the novel the class is listening to.  It is one of Margaret Mahy's brilliant reads.  The book has been made into a movie, which the class will see once the book is finished.

Hillary House Assembly. Learning the school song: Ko Managawharau

Another way to learn aspects of statistics!!!

Room 1 is working on statistics as the theme for maths at the moment.  This video is helping the class to remember what the mean, median and mode are.  Hope you find it just as fun and helpful.

What a great day Hillary House has had!
We are sitting awaiting a recount for the Interhouse Swimming sports results as we are sitting one point behind the leading house.  Watch this space!

Georgia and Augusta proudly holding the new Hillary House banner at the 2014 Interhouse School Swimming sports..  Mason, Phoebe, Greer and Yona painted it as a result of winning the house competition, aiming at a bold new banner with stand out features.  They certainly achieved that.

 After a short afternoon of practicing, the new Hillary House chant, the competitors and supporters got right into the Chant competition.  9/10 was our winning score for loudness, clarity and enthusiasm, awarded by Mr Sutherland, the adjudicator.

Does Hillary House sound competitive?  You bet we are!
