Science in Hub 4 at Stonefields

Check out our presentation at school assembly. We decided to share all the amazing learning we have been doing in Science this term. 




This term, we are all scientists at Hub 4. We are learning about solids, liquids, and gas. We are also learning about hot and cold. - Ruby

We learnt how to sign hot and cold. We also learnt the Maori words for hot (wera) and cold (makariri). - Cynthia and Blake

We have been doing lots of experiments, like making Rainbow Wizards Brew. Look at it bubble and spill out of the jar. - Rapture

We felt things that are hot and cold. We found out what would happen to an ice cube if we put it under the sun (it melted!). We also melted crayons using a hair dryer to make our hot and cold art. - Joseph.

We also made our own ice cream. It tastes just like the one we buy at the shops. - Kade

My Trip to Europe by Leya




My family and  I went to the airport . We went away on the plane.  I watched a movie and I ate curry and rice .I also had water and coke to drink.
We went to London. I slept on my bed in the hotel because I was really tired. When I woke up I had pizza. We went for a ride in a car . I saw horses and I saw the queen riding in her carriage. We also saw Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives. 
Then we went to Europe. When we went to Paris it was night time and we saw the Eiffel Tower lit up. We went to Italy,  I had butter chicken and I saw the Colosseum and lots of statues. It was a really fun holiday.

Cybersmart Learning in EWC 1

We are learning to be cybersmart by writing positive comments. We have been practising writing comments together. We know we need to write a greeting, the author's name and something positive about their blog post.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori by Anchorage Park

This week we have been celebrating Maori Language Week. We have been learning our numbers in Maori, our days of the week and a lot more phrases too. We have also been reading and singing 'If You're Kiwi And You Know It' in English and Maori and matching the Maori animal names with the right animal.  We have also been doing Maori crafts which have been very interesting for all of us. Coming from Scotland, this is my first Maori Language Week and I have been learning so much!

Dental Health by Howick Intermediate Satelite

On Monday 27th of July we had an assembly to remind us a few things about how to take care of our teeth.
Heidi the dental nurse showed us the correct way to brush our teeth. We all had a turn to practice.
We had to put food into happy tooth and sad tooth food groups for a picnic. That was a lot of fun.
We should brush our teeth twice everyday to keep them strong and healthy.
