Week One Done!

We've had a busy start to the year!

Miss Kim from Auckland University has joined us and will be with us in Week 2 and then 2 days a week for the rest of the term. We're lucky to have another teacher in our class who loves using digital learning tools as much as we do!

Here's a look at McCahon Class 2015.

We're in for an exciting year!

Welcome to McCahon Class 2015!

2 more sleeps! 

I hope everyone in McCahon Class have had a wonderful holiday and
that you're as ready for school as I am!

I'm looking forward to seeing all those fabulous smiles on Monday; hearing about the exciting places you went, the books you read and most importantly hearing how excited you are about your learning this year in McCahon.

Watch this short clip: what 3 words come to mind after viewing the animation?

It's going to be an exciting year!

2014 Year 6 Graduation Celebration

Yesterday we celebrated our Year 6s graduating from primary school. 

They had a graduation afternoon tea with whanau and other people who have helped them achieve all that they have during their time at Hay Park School, and they also shared some of their favourite memories and how HPS is special to them.

Here is a link to the collaborative film we worked on together. 

Tino pai rawa Year 6!

On a personal note, many of our Year 6s I have taught since they were Year 3...and some from Year 2! It has been a privilege to learn alongside such an amazing group of young people! I hope their intermediate schools realise just how lucky they are to have them next year.

To the HPS graduating class of 2014, you will be missed!
I wish you every luck next year and please take the time to pop in and say hi - I'd love you to stay in touch!

Athletics Day 2014

We had our school Athletics Day on Friday and we all came in our team colours. 

Team Red were the winners on the day - but the highlight was definitely having our whanau there to cheer us along.

Snag Golf with Issac and Swimming Begins!

We had a fun 4 weeks with Isaac and developing our golf skills (thanks to Mrs Galloway and Sport Auckland!)

For the next 5 weeks we are swimming at Cameron Pools. 

Don't forget your swimming kit on Wednesdays!

Carleece's Blog Post About the Ako Hiko Trust Launch (22 October 2014)

Hi,

Bloggers from all over the world!

Tonight kids from Hay Park School have been chosen to represent Hay Park School in the Ako HIko Launch. We have been given an opportunity to build up our confidence with a special person named Andrew Patterson, we asked him questions that we were not that sure about. 

However in the end we got all our questions answered, we have been looking forward to this day ever since we got our notices, from our wonderful teachers who motivate us to come to school everyday!

Genius Hour with May Road School

On Tuesday last week we walked up to May Road School with Flox Class. We were pretty excited about the chance to work collaboratively with Room 15 and 14, but also really excited about making new friends!

Mrs Wright has made a short clip with some of the day's highlights.
