Place mats

Recently Hoiho made some place mats for our desks. The class used crepe paper and put it on a piece of white paper. Some people did a pattern and others put them in just random places. After we had finished putting it in the places we wanted Mrs Bryant mixed some water and vinegar and we put it over the crepe paper and it left a stain.

Later we found some Hoiho pictures and cut them out and stuck them on our place mats. The class printed a 2013 off the ipad and we also stuck that on our place mats.

Running Club

Nearly all of our class have joined Running Club so that we can get fitter. Go Hoiho!
Running Club is at lunchtimes on Tues, Wed and Fri each week.

Hoiho Fish

Last week we enjoyed swimming at the ASB Aquatic Center. There were five groups. Some did diving, some other groups did breaststroke, backstroke and freestyle.

On Wednesday our swimming instructor Darryl gave us some very heavy t-shirts to put on. We swam one length with them on. After that he made us tread water for five minutes. We had to do it in case of an emergency. It was a fun experience for us.

On the last day we had races. Some people vs. their own instructor. At the end of the lesson we got a long free time.

Heads or Tails?

In Maths each day we learn about Probability. Probability is judging the likelihood of each event. For example you will be born tomorrow is impossible. 

We flipped coins to see what the chances are of getting heads or tails. We found the chances are even.
