The Hinni Kids Hobbiton Trip!

"Let's go on an adventure!!! Hobbiton, here we come!"

Hinuera School went on an adventure to the enchanting village of Hobbiton Movie Set. We saw 44 hobbit holes, Bag End, and the Party tree. You should have seen our dance moves! What a party!! By the time we reached the Green Dragon, we were dying of thirst. Luckily we were all shouted a sweet fizzy ginger beer to quench our thirst before cramming in on the bus to come back to school.

We would have to crouch down to fit in some of these Hobbit Holes!

Cheers! 

Creepy Crawly Caterpillars

Miss Dagg rescued some caterpillars from her garden as she thought they might be getting rather cold on these cold foggy nights we have been having. She brought them in to school this morning and we were lucky enough to catch one of them shedding their skin and turning into a chrysalis. We all huddled around the little table to watch this amazing transformation take place. What an exciting thing for K7 kids to witness!

Healthy Eating

Sugar, fat and fibre... These are some of the things we have been learning about during our healthy eating lessons with Nicola and Claire from Project Energize. 

Last week we learnt lots about sugary drinks and today was all about which breakfast options are the best. What have you learnt that shocked you or interested you?? Share what you have learnt with everyone by making a comment below :) 

Value of the Week: Cooperation

What do you do to make sure you are cooperating with others?  How can we show cooperation every day? 

Te Reo

We have been learning the days of the week in Maori. We like to say them out loud to help us remember them all. 

Maybe I will quiz you in class to see if you can remember them, so get practising!

Basic Facts Games

Knowing our basic facts is really important if we want to continue to make progress in our maths! I have noticed that there are many of us that need some extra practise at these so I have found some fun on line games for you to have a go at. Click the title to open the link to the game.

Arrgh -Practice ye math facts and helpin' th' band of pirates while playing Arrgh.

Granny Prix -Design your own Granny and race through the hallways.

Maths Facts Pro -See how many seconds it takes you to solve every problem and get a summary of which problems you need to work on. 

These websites also have loads of other fun games too so check them out as well. If any of you would like extra practise sheets at home, let me know as I can always print some out for you :)

I can't wait to see loads of improvement in our basic facts! I also would love to hear all about your favourite game!
