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!

Hampden again?

Today was the first chance for Houses to get together for the new year and plan how they were going to topple the Hampden House dominance of the House Trophy. 

Step 1:  Elect some strong, Yr6 role models as house leaders!

Testing and Swimming!!

This week the title of the post pretty much says it all!  LLLLOOOTTTTSSSSS of tests cooled down with a bit of swimming...time to start learning next week! :-)

Maths with meaning

This week we have been spending a bit of time out on Van Diemen St car watching.  What for you might ask...well we thought we might do a statistics investigation on what time of the day is the busiest (hence most dangerous) time to be crossing the road at our new kea crossing.  Not surprisingly 9:20 and 2:20 had the most cars whizzing up and down the street.
