RACE UNITY DAY 2013

On Friday we celebrated the cultural diversity at Hampden St with a parade.  Children dressed up in their national colours and dress.  As you can see from the photos above,  R18 is a very multi-cultural class!

We now declare this Senior block...reopened!

On Friday the senior block was reopened in front of the school by local MP Nick Smith.

OUCH!!

Alex took part in the Trolley Derby on the weekend and has the scars to prove it! 

We've got 'Style!'

While Mr F was busy doing important paperwork, R18 were turning the classroom into a bombsite with Mrs Peterson and Mr Lean.  Check out our awesome paper fashion creations!(not Mr Leans shockingly blurry photos!!)

Be a Journalist

Our main topic this term is called 'Who'd have Known?' and is about learning about ourselves, and others.  We are looking to write biographies about our R13 buddies as well as other famous people.  Here we are asking the big questions of the kids in R13...cute!

Hockey one...hockey two...charge!!

HSS is taking part in the 'Hockey in Schools' program over the next 4 weeks.  Check out the action from week 1!

Smile :-)

On Wednesday it was school photo day and it was already plain to see that Mr F was having a bad affect/effect on the boys with the obscene amounts of hair gel being thrown around!  Keep your eyes out for the class photo coming home soon.

Fun with the Buddies

Last week we went up to Fairfield Park for an early lunch and play with our R13 buddies.

R18s 'Typical' Student!

Today in class we did a statistical investigation to find out who was the class 'typical' student.  We completed  tally charts on height, weight, family size, eye and hair colour and favourite school subject.  We learnt that the most common student in R18 has brown hair and brown eyes, weighs between 26-30kg, is between 131-140cm tall loves PE and comes from a family of 4.  In the end only 1 student ticked all these boxes...and here she is!

Weetbix Tryathlon Buildup

The Weetbix Tryathlon is coming up this Sunday at Tahuna.  As always heaps of HSS kids are taking part - check out the queue to get bike and helmet WOFs last Wednesday!
