Our South Hornby School Leaders

Today in Assembly we gave out the first 2 leaders of SHS 2019.Our two leaders names are Carla and Emma. We think that Carla and Emma should be very proud that they got their leader badges. They were the first badges given out to Punui-o-Toka. When you get a leader badge you become a leader of South Hornby and you are more trusted than others to do more jobs.It's really special to get a leader badge.

Here are some things that people thought about Carla and Emma getting a badge.

Peter, I think that they have done a great job.

Aliyah, I think that they worked hard and really deserved their badges.

Emma, I was so happy to get my leader badge and I was shaking.

Carla, I was very excited to get my leader badge but I was also very nervous.

We are very proud of both Carla and Emma!

DISCO time!!

Last Friday night some of South Hornby School went to the school disco. A disco is a school dance to music. We had a disco ball and a D.J. There was food and drinks and things to buy. There were the opinions of glow sticks, light up key rings, light up foam sticks and ghost buddies. You could buy lollies, chips, chocolate and multiple kinds of drinks.

'Me and my friends took really cool photos with each other from the photo booth. We used the funny mask things and the instruments'.
-Joslyne

'I went behind the D.J booth for a wee while. I got to be able to push the smoke button and listen to music in the headphones'
-Jacobie

'My favourite part was the food because it was delicious, but I also really liked the photo booth'.
-Harmony

Punui-o-toka's reward time!

Today in Puni-O-toka we had free time. The reason we had free time is because we reached over 500 tickets! We get tickets by showing our 4 values, Play, make their day, be there and choose your attitude.To show our values we need to work hard. To show play we have fun with our learning, to show make their day we need to make someone's day by saying kind words or smiling at them, to show e their we have to be in the moment and be ready to learn, to show choose your attitude we need to have the right attitude even if something goes wrong. For our free time we went out side we could either play on the senior playground, the junior playground or the court. We all had a lot of fun running around and playing games. We are not sure what our next target will be because the teachers need to figure it out.

A Visit From Gemma McCaw

Today we had a very exciting start to our day. We had a special visit from Gemma McCaw. She came and spoke to us about her journey as a hockey player and playing hockey in the Olympic Games. She talked about Friendship, Respect and Perseverance. She told us about what is needed to be successful at anything you dream of doing.

Weekly Wrap Week 2 Term3

This is what Punui-o-toka have been up to this week. We used Canva to create a Weekly Wrap. We worked in collaborative groups to create it. We had to think about all the activities and learning we have done this week and decide which ones to include.

Math's Strand

Today in Miss Goslin’s homeroom we did statistics in strand maths . What statistics is, is explaining information you have gathered through a graph. We learn what different types of graph there are bar graphs, pie charts, ETC. First we all got together on the mat And Miss Goslin explained what statistics is. Next we figured out how many siblings everyone had and put them into tally marks. Then she handed out sheets with a couple tasks on and there were a small group to make a bar graph about how many siblings we had. Once everyone was finished we all came together on the mat and Miss Goslin showed us what each part of a bar graph was called.

Our last day of school (Miss Goslin's Punui-o-toka Homeroom)

On the last Friday of the term our school is having a class party! We earnt the class party because we got 3,000 'thank you tickets'. "We get thank you tickets in the classroom by our teachers for supporting our people powers" Says Bronx. Our people powers are our school values. Our people powers are:

-Be there

-Play

-Make their day

-Choose your attitude

On Thursday to celebrate Matariki, we flew kites that we have made at home. A few children in our space won prizes for the highest flying kite from Mrs Huriwai.

Bronx shares that Matariki is about Whanau and food. Aliyah shares that it is about celebrating Maori new year and its harvest. Below is some of our artwork, representing the Matariki stars.

Today we are having a PJ class party with lots of shared yummy kai. This is our reward for getting the tickets!
