Frucor Activity Day

How lucky we were today to have Alistar and his team of superstars from Frucor come and take our school for a day of activities and fun. We had a dance battle station, technology, soccer, chocolate river, egg creations and target practise. From everyone at Edmund Hillary, thank you.

Room 2's Term 3 Cook Off!

We had to plan, budget, follow instructions and cook a feast! Each group had to provide and edible item, and made enough for everyone in the class to have 1 thing each. We ended up sampling Hamburgers, Pizza, Cupcakes, Ice-cream cookies, Baked stuffed apple crumble and delicious milkshakes! By the end of the day our puku's were very full!

Lord Hastings

Cycling around the world to raise awareness and funds for clean water! Lord Hastings stopped by our school during the New Zealand leg of his world tour to share some inspirational words. These are some of the things we learned about him.

NZ's Olympic Champions

Today we had the opportunity to go to the home coming welcome for our Olympic athletes at the cloud. We were lucky enough to meet many medalists including Huriana Manuel, Portia Woodman, Tyla Nathan-Wong, Mahe Drysdale, Sarah Goss, and many more. The olympians were so humble and kind towards our tamariki, even though they had just come off a huge flight, and were being swamped, left, right and centre. We received medals, printed pictures, and flags. Thanks to the team at ANZ for making this trip happen!

Audio Stories!

These are our audio stories! We had to select music, then identify keywords that described how the music made us feel. We then wrote a short story and recorded ourselves reading them over music. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed making them. Please click on the picture and it will take you to the recording.
