Coding transformation

In Maths we have been focusing on transformation.

We used an online coding programme to create some patterns that show transformation. Some showed rotation, some showed translation, and some showed reflection.

A lot of learning was happening about angles and distance with this along with how to make symmetrical patterns.

Tangata Whenua - Powhiri

This week celebrate Matariki so the Year 7 classes at HNI have all been lreaning how to conduct themselves on a Marae at a Powhiri. Yesterday we were the Manuhiri for Room 2. Today we were the Tangata Whenua welcoming Room 7. The class all stepped up to the occasion and performed very well. After the Powhiri we then went back to class to share some learning and kai. The class all had their own jobs around the classroom showing Room 7 people what they have been working on over the year.

Planting some trees.

Last Friday we planted some trees for our treemendous makeover of our drain. Everyone planted at least one tree. Luckily the ground was quite moist so digging wasn't a hard job. Our panel is also shown in the area.

Orienteering

Last week our class, along with the rest of Sheppard House went orienteering. The class navigated their way through the High School (while they had a teacher only day). There were two different courses for them to take. It was great to see them all having fun and challenging themselves with something new. It also linked in with our maths focus from last term with position and orientation.
