Watching the MIS sport exchange.

On Friday 6 students from Room 11 were involved in playing, or helping, with the Masterton Intermediate School sport exchange. Several others had hosted billets overnight.
Those of us not actively involved had the opportunity to watch some of the games - Rugby, Netball or Football. I took a group of students to Guthrie Park to watch the Girls and Boys football matches.

A new Maths Site

"Fun Friday" saw us exploring a new Maths Site. When asked "How is this Maths?" we went to our Maths wall and worked out that we were:

  • Solving problems
  • Accepting challenges (some games were hard/some easy!)
  • Having think time
  • Using technology
  • Asking for help
  • Asking Questions
  • Communicating
  • Sharing ideas 
  • Making connections  and so on!!

Sheppard House Orienteering

Today, Jane Herries, from Kiwi Orienteering, took Sheppard House for a session on orienteering around HNHS.
She was helped out by some High School students and it was great to see some fast times and students wanting to have second goes!!
