Mufti Day

After a week of lunchtime sports activities, Friday was the day we dressed up as our favourite Olympic sports competitor.
Look out for Equestrian, rhythmic gymnasts, soccer, netball and hockey players, a tennis player, BMX riders, spectators and Highfield Olympians along with many others.

Gymnastics

Over the last three weeks we have been spending some time each week using the gymnastics equipment. We have challenged ourselves and each other. We have pushed ourselves further than we thought we could go. We have felt threatened and proud. As you watch these photos, ask us what was hardest, what we got better at, and what we felt proudest of achieving.

We Love Constructing

Any chance we get, we like to build, create, design and construct fabulous structures. Then we like to photograph them before we put the blocks away. When we are constructing we are often sharing and co-operating, talking about our designs and making decisions about how to improve them. All great Highfield Learner skills.

Here are some of our constructions so far this year.

Reuben Paterson Inspired Artworks

Here are samples of out artworks from last term.
There is a twist in these images: they only show part of the piece.
Can you find your work? How many other pieces can you identify?

Holiday Diaramas

Here are some of the holiday diaramas that we have been working on this term

World of Wearable Arts

        Jessie and Rebecca organised a Wearable Arts exhibition for their Highfield Learner Challenge.

Three girls from our class entered. Lili, Jessamy and Ana did an awesome job with their costumes and with their appearances on the catwalk on Wednesday night. Ka pai, girls.
                      
                          Jessamy's theme was "Not of Nature". Ana's theme was "Papatuanuku".

                                        
                                      

 Lili's costume told us about how nature needs bees.

            Lili, and her brother, Caleb, came first in their section too. 

       Congratulations!!!!

Last week of Term 2

It is the last week of term. We are very busy trying to complete our Reuben Paterson style pictures and our articles and models about places around New Zealand.
On Thursday afternoon the whole school has a hockey tournament up at the stadium.
We are having our last week of PMP and we are having some hiphop dance lessons.
No wonder the week is rushing past.


We are sad to read that Mrs Elrick's class is finished for the year. We have enjoyed reading their blog and admiring all their work. We wish them all the best for their holidays and for next year.
