Jackson's winning short story!

As promised here is Jackson's winning entry in the year 1&2 short story competition! The judges comments were "I like the overall feel good factor of this story and some of the interesting words used like 'fire coloured UFO ship' - they create a picture in my head". Great job Jackson!!

Way to go Jackson!!

We are very excited and proud of Jackson because he won the year 1 and year 2 short story competition at the school library this week! He won a fantastic dinosaur book and some special treats to eat. The stories are on display in the library for everyone to read and when we get a copy we will put it up here on the blog as well. Way to go Jackson!!

Rugby World Cup...We are...AMERICA!!!

As part of the Rugby World Cup at MHP we are all supporting and learning about one of the countries involved in the competition. At Fridays assembly one child from each Learning Zone picked a country out of a box and LZ6 got....AMERICA!! We are really excited about this because MHP only has 2 American families and both have students in LZ6! Jackson was super excited as he is one of our Americans and he drew the name out! How cool is that??? We are looking forward to fun American experiences like playing baseball and eating hotdogs over the next few weeks to help us get in the spirit!!

Howick Historical Village by Jackson

On Tuesday I went to Howick Historical Village with my dad and LZ6 and LZ5 and LZ1. It was wicked! My favourite thing was the axe because it is sharp to chop down trees. I saw a wagon with wheels. They did not have cars back then!

Jackson's fan!

Jackson brought in this fan that he made at home to show us for news. He showed us how when you complete the circuit by touching the correct wires the fan will turn around. Well done Jackson, you are an amazing scientist!

Poor Jackson!

Poor Jackson is a bit in the wars at the moment. On Wednesday he had an accident on his skateboard and badly damaged his fingernail so yesterday he was scheduled for surgery to fix it. Luckily it has already started to heal so he was feeling ok to come to school today to show us all. There is even an arrow on his hand so the surgeons know which finger to fix! We think you are VERY brave Jackson!!

Happy birthday Jackson!

Yesterday was Jackson's birthday!
He brought in a cake to share with the class.


He also brought some funny pirate accessories! We all had mustaches and eye patches to wear.

Look at Augustino - doesn't he look cool?!

Museum story by Jackson

LZ6 went to the Museum. We went to learn about bugs and we liked the Museum. My favourite was the stick bugs. It was funny and it was camouflaged on the bush. I got to hold it on my hand and it felt like a hook.
