Hiringa Athletics 2012

The Hiringa Syndicate had a sun filled, action packed, totally awesome athletics day on 26th October. We all had a lot of fun and were also very competitive and had great support of each other.

Here are some pictures from the day. I wasn't able to capture all of the events, but these show some of our amazing athletes in action.

Leave a comment about something you persevered at, improved at, and/or were really proud or successful at during our athletics day.

Rich Task - Facts

Room 18 are currently sharing some of their learning in class with information about planets in our solar system.

We have had a range of styles, including a couple of great radio shows, plays, posters, and even a short 'Did you know?' movie.

Task: What did you learn? List some of the new facts that you know about the solar system and the planets and objects within and beyond.
