Anzac Week

During the first week of term we have been learning about WW1 and the Anzac Soldiers.

On Friday we held an Anzac Service at school, by our flag pole and our field of remembrance. The field of remembrance has 30 white crosses each bearing the names of those from the Mt Roskill area who lost their lives in WW1.

Dusky our school cat, reflecting in the field of remembrance. 

Home Learning Challenge - Shreya

In Flox Class we have Home Learning Challenges that link up the Key Competecies with our school values.

Check out Shreya's slide show, showing how she planned and cooked a special meal for her family.

Awesome work Shreya!

Chinese New Year - Week 3

Gong Xi Fa Cai Everyone! (Happy New Year)

Yesterday was Chinese New Year. We have been learning about Chinese New Year celebrations all week in class.

On Tuesday it was our class assembly - our assembly focused on Chinese New Year and included lots of interesting facts about it. We made gold coin trees to bring us good luck.

To celebrate, yesterday we began making some paper cut art work based on the animals in the Chinese Calendar.

We will post some photos when they are finished.

We are loving using our Chromebooks in all our learning. They are such great learning tools!

Look at the focused learners!

Starting our Chromebook Journey

Yesterday our Chromebook journey began.

There was a lot of important information to be recorded, which we all worked together to do. Then came the big moment when we were able to open up our beautiful new Chromebooks! Soooo exciting!

We all signed in, then checked our email for the first time and had a look around our class site.

Our Chromebooks are such a great tool for learning. We can't wait to use them more!

Huge thanks to all our whanau for supporting us with our Chromebooks.

First week back at school

Week one has been an exciting time at Hay Park School!

We have had science experiements, we have been learning about each other and the Treaty of Waitangi!

Miss Hopcroft is a student teacher in our class. She will be with us for the first two weeks, and then in on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

It has been so much fun getting to know each other and starting our learning journey for 2015.

We can't wait to see where our learning will take us this year.
             

                 

Welcome to 2015!

Hi Flox Class of 2015! I hope you are as excited about this year as I am.

I have had a fantastic holiday with my family. My nephew Noah was born on the first of January so that was pertty exciting in my family. I also spent lots of time enjoying the beautiful sunshine we have had.

I have spent the last few days in at school getting ready for this year, and am excited to share our learning space with you all.

I am really looking forward to seeing you learning, and seeing the ways in which you share your learning in 2015.

I can't wait to see you all on Monday.
