Ready, steady...SINK!

Last week the crew of Room 18 made some amazing boats, rafts, yachts and...submarines as part of our 'RISE ABOVE' topic.  Check out the awesome creations made at home and at school.









We then tested their speed and buoyancy in the small pool!  Results were varied to say the least..but a lot of fun was had by all!!




SO CUTE!!

On Friday Freya brought in her chicks to meet us!

HSS celebrates 111 days until the ICC World Cup

PPPUUUULLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Friday we had our first ever House Tug-of-war competition!  All houses had some level of success but it was Van Diemen who proved to be the strongest house overall, coming away with some much needed points and closing the gap in the overall house points behind Hampden and Waimea.
