(Established 2009) This is the history of our Year 7 and 8 classes in Huia 1 at The Gardens School, NZ. We wrote for ourselves, our families and friends and for anyone who wanted to know what life was like at our school. From 2009 to 2013, Huia 1's teacher was Mrs Vincent. 1n 2014, classes changed and Huia 1 became Miss Murphy's room, with Mrs Vincent teaching on Thursday afternoons in Term 1. This blog has now ceased regular publication but is a record of our time together in Huia 1.

Two Minutes of Silence for Christchurch
At 12:51 today, exactly a week from the 6.3 Christchurch earthquake, our students observed two minutes of silence to pay tribute to the victims of the disaster.
After students ate their lunch there was a bell to gather in class lines on the field. Our entire school, along with the rest of New Zealand, remained still and silent for two minutes. Then a bell rang and everyone continued with what they were doing prior to 12:51.

Here are some photos of how the two minutes silence were observed around New Zealand
