Week 6 with Hinni Hero

Hinni hero had another great week in Room 2! Have a look at what Hinni Hero got up to with Room 2's VIP's...
He played on mathletics, did some wonderful writing, went to PMP to shoot balls into hoops and jump from hoop to hoop, did lots of running and also did some science experiments.

Hinni Hero is looking forward to adventures in Week 7 including our school Cross Country!

Colour treasure hunt!

Today our running game was a colour treasure hunt. We were in different groups and had to race each other to find different things in the school that were different colours.
We are getting so good at running. We can run faster and for longer distances before stopping!

We decorated some biscuits.
Keep up the super Hinni kid attitude at your new school Luca! We will miss you a lot!

He did cross country running, drawing, played eggy words on the iPads, read some stories and did some beautiful printing.

Running Games

Ben from Project Energize came to Hinuera School to teach us some fun games that we can play to help us get ready for Cross Country.
These games were fun and also made our heats beat faster and made us feel puffed!
This is a video of one of the games that we played:

Our erupting Volcano!

Today we made a volcano as part of our fizzing and foaming unit.
We put some baking soda in a container in the middle and then poured some vinegar over the top.
We saw a reaction!
Have a look at what happened...
The baking soda is a base and the vinegar is an acid. When they join they react and fizz. We thought it was like they were fighting!

On Thursday afternoons the Junior syndicate do PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme).
We do lots of different activities that help to get both of our brains working.
These are some activities that we do.

Star Jam for Jump Jam

Today we had some visitors from Star Jam come to our school to talk to us and do a performance.
We also did a Jump Jam and donated a gold coin to this awesome organisation. One of our wonderful students from Hinuera School is part of Star Jam.
