(Monday morning)
Huia 1 students are already getting back into school mode after the weekend - along with the rest of the school.
This term we have been doing lots of work on Aztecs and we are doing a project in class where you have to make up a question and research it using resources - that is computers and books.
Every Monday morning Huia 1 does a current events quiz. This morning we learned that England has introduced a new type of transport, called Pods, for people to ride in at Heathrow Airport.
Huia1 is reading Private Peaceful at the moment and we are talking about the key
information. Our class recommends Private Peaceful to any keen reader - it's by Michael Morpurgo. (Note from Mrs Vincent: A movie of Private Peaceful is being filmed in England at the moment. Check it out here and here.)
Huia 1 has been learning to find places on a map and and how to do mapping skills. In our Social Studies books we have a page on New Zealand facts and another on world facts and we have been adding to them every week since the start of the term.
During Term 3 we are getting ready for the wearable arts and we are in groups of three. Lots of people have started making their outfits.
At the moment there are E.R.O (Education Review Office) people around the school. They go around schools in New Zealand visiting them every three years to make sure the curriculum is fulfilled. So, we have to be on our best behaviour while they are at our school until
this Friday, then next week they are going to a different school in New Zealand. It's nearly the end of term .
