The Show That Rocked

Rock Da House

Tribute to Mr Phillips

I enjoyed going back stage for the first time. Caleb

When our school got called out I had this rush of adrenaline. It created a big fun feeling. Margeaux.

I enjoyed Rock Da House because of the rock music (like Mighty Quinn), and the glowing gloves. It felt as if we were really glowing ourselves! Grace.

Thank you Mr Phillips for everything you did. I enjoyed the glowing hands the most and the rest was also amazing! Sam.

Thanks Mr Phillips for being such an awesome teacher and putting all that effort into Rock Da House. I loved the glowing hands! From Josh.

We're Competitive

The competitive spirit was alive and well amongst Hoiho class again today. We all did our best to compete in the ASB Maths Challenge for Live Mathletics. We were competing for the school, the class and for ourselves. Luckily for us the senior classes were away at their sports competition so we could borrow their devices to work on. It was a great fun way to improve our skills.

The Fun Kicker

Before we got instructions we looked at Mrs Bryant's onager. We tried to copy the design.

Making a base

First you make the base. Get some paddle pop sticks and one of them has a mark down the middle of it. Put another stick next to it and cut that stick in half. After that have a full stick and glue it on to the half stick and keep piling them on until you have got three layers.

Putting the string on

Next we had to get a piece of string that was one meter and 30cm long. We folded the string in half twice. Then we put our finger through the loops on the right side and held the other side of the string with our other hand, then twisted the string until it was tight. After that we wrapped the twisted string around the middle of our onagers then we tied a knot at the side.

Helping with making the onager

You probably will have some difficulties with making your onager but when you finish you will need to help with other people's onager.

Making the firing arm!

You need one popsicle stick and a quarter of a popsicle stick.

First take the quarter stick and put it in a hole of the string. It is easier to put it in the middle of the string. Next start twisting the stick but make sure the quarter stick can reach the bottom string. After you twisted it tightly you get one popsicle stick and then glue it on the front of the quarter stick. Straight after you glue it on put a bulldog clip to hold it together while the glue is drying out so you need to let it dry overnight.

Get a milk bottle top or glue two cupcake papers together and glue it onto the  firing arm and wait for it to dry because if you don't it will fall off and it won't work.

Let It Grow

Hoiho made bread to do with their R.E learning. The yeast grows and makes the bread rise. Jesus tells us in a parable to spread the word of God. Here are some photos of the bread making.  

We poured water into the scalded milk.

We smelt the yeast and some people thought it smelt strange.

We mixed the yeast and the sugar so there were no lumps.

We poured the scalded milk, sugar and yeast into the flour and salt.

We had to leave the dough in the sun so it could rise.

We tipped the dough out onto a table covered with flour.

We kneaded the dough with our palms.

We split the dough into three even parts followed by shaping the dough into rectangles and putting them in the tins so we could put them in the oven.

We spread cooking oil into the tins so when it cooked the bread didn't stick.

We cut up the bread into 30 pieces so that all the class could have a piece.

Hoiho class was happy with their bread that they made.

Mr Dorman enjoyed the bread.
