Te Reo Movie in Room 10

For Te Reo room 10 have been practising using some common phrases. Today they made a short film using some of the phrases. Here's a sneak peak of what's to come...Mate Puru Putangitangi - Death in Paradise!

First Run on the Cross Country Course

Nepia Class Debates

Today we held our Nepia inter- class debates.
Room 10's speakers were Finn Grant, Daisy Phillips and Holly Renwick. The moot was that "Social Media does more harm than good." We were on the negative team and, with Molly and Max's help, had come up with some great arguments!
Unfortunately  the judges decided in Room 7's favour - but overall what a great team effort from Room 10.

Music in Room 10

Today in music we had the pleasure of listening to three performances.

The first performance was Holly, Molly and Daisy performing Bad Moon Rising.

The second performance was Joe on the drums.

The third performance was James playing a Greenday song on the guitar.

Room 10 Debates

Today Room 10 did an absolutely fabulous job with their debates. Today we heard all 5 debates and the standard was great!
Our topics were:
"You should have a License to own a drone."
"Competition is a good thing."
"Police in NZ should be armed."
"School Uniforms are important."
"Children today don't know how to play."

Kiwi O

This afternoon Rooms 5 and 10 took part in a Kiwi O (orienteering) session. Several students had orienteered before, but for a few students it was their first time trying out this sport.
So today it was all about getting around HNI as quickly and accurately as possible! After the initial run most had one or two more attempts - either doing the course in the opposite direction or even trying it from memory!

Matariki Kite Flying

This afternoon Room 10 and the rest of HNI went out on the field and flew (or attempted to fly...) our Matariki Kites! The students have been learning about Matariki and have spent 2 weeks designing and creating their own kites. They did a fantastic job! The conditions were perfect - lots of wind! After 40min of flying the skies opened up and it poured with rain - it was time to head back inside. Joe's large kite made for a good umbrella though....!!

Drama in Room 10!

This week the students in room 10 have been putting their acting skills to the test! Here's a couple of photos of the plays that were performed to the class and also some of the students having a go at the drama game 'freeze tag'!
