Term 4's Focus is Heroes.
We will be looking at heroes in sport, history and fiction as well as the qualities that a hero needs. We will tie this in with how we can be a hero and the Hinni Kids characteristics. Keep watching this space.

Term 3's Focus was "Change over Time"
Children have been looking at how they have changed over the past 5 years and have been making personal timelines. We also had a great visit to the [|Firth Tower Museum]. What a great resource right on our doorstep! =the silent movies and learning= =about Charlie Chaplin.= =Have a look at this clip from= ="The Lion's Cage".= ||

This involved a trip to [|Maungatuatari Ecological Island Reserve]. Well worth a visit! Check out the link.
As part of this study we looked at the identification of trees and what is needed to make a native bush. We also listened to bird calls to see if we could identify them.
