Getting into action with line dancing with Hillary House.

As part of the PE programme we are learning a range of social, folk and line dances. There is a lot of movement, laughter and enjoyment while in action. We have learnt about eight dances in preparation for the social in term 4.

An updated and improved version of our class Padlet.

After viewing our first Padlet of the term, it was decided that Room 1 had to reconsider what they had written and how they had presented it. The second Padlet reflected deeper thinking and consideration of their ideas. Enjoy seeing how work improves and progresses in Room 1.

Environmental Action Elective Concentration

Mustaine is part of the Environmental Action elective.  He is potting up a lancewood seedling which is going to spend the next couple of seasons in the shade house until it is mature enough to plant out.

Mustaine is part of a programme that is focussing on developing an area of native trees within the school grounds.  Together, his group has been pricking out, potting up and will soon be planting natives on the banks of Te Karamu Stream.  This. Is buildings up on being Change Makers within the community.

Our New Garden Area: Nature Wall

Created with Padlet

Room 1 is working towards a competition for a garden transformation at Havelock North Intermediate. We have been working with Ms Bassett to set up the winning entry for a $10 000 make over for the public walkway area on the field. As part of the process, we have been submitting our ideas for places, gear, walkways, plants, features that we would all like to see in the garden area. This Padlet is part of the Student Voice that is also being added to the entry. We had to consider what the garden would do to inspire our thinking, our perspective as to what the garden area could give us and the effects of working within it. Have a read and see if you consider the same points as the class.

Cross Country Readiness

The annual HNI School cross country is nearly upon us.  Room 1 have spent the last four weeks training (some students both at home and school).  Goals have been set and times have been closely watched.

There are a few injuries keeping some people at bay from running; they will be our No 1 supporters on Friday.

There is a healthy degree of competition amongst the class to keep the yellow Hillary banner at the top of the wall in the hall.

Go Hillary!!!!

Molly's Beyond Honours Project

 Molly has spent much of the year focussing on developing an awareness of Canteen and what it does for young people who have cancer.  She is also considering the effect cancer has on the siblings of patients.

After thinking about that, she decided to share her knowledge with other students at HNI through her Beyond Honours Project.

She has made 50 goodie bags from canteen bandanas and distributed them among the classes at HNI.  She has asked students to bring along treats and goodies that would help to make a cancer patient or their siblings day.

Room 1 have filled two bags already and begun on a third one.
