7Mt Class Treaty 2018

Using the Treaty of Waitangi as our model, and the school values of Commitment, Achievement, Resilience and Respect as the basis for our rules, the following are the Articles of our 2018 Class Treaty:

The Treaty will be signed by the whole class on Wednesday 21 February 2018.

Commitment: what it looks like, sounds like, feels like

Our first Kete for the year is called "We Are Hornby" and looks at the things that make Hornby High School unique, including our school values of:

- Commitment
- Achievement
- Resilience
- Respect

In these photos were are working on a project about Commitment with Mrs Cotter to identify what it would look like, sound like, and feel like if we all showed Commitment in all of our classes.

 

 

 

This will help us to identify exactly what we need to be doing to demonstrate this important value.

Radioactive Mission Impossible Challenge

On the first school day for 2018 all Year 7 and 8 students were put into teams that went around 8 different bases throughout the afternoon. Here are some pictures of some of our students taking part in Mr Mitchell's Radioactive Mission Impossible Challenge:

We had to try to remove containers with "radioactive material" into containment fields without touching them. Most of the teams did really well with the challenge, and Mr Mitchell said that he would feel very safe if one of Christchurch's nuclear reactors went into meltdown, because we all knew how to remove the isotopes safely.

Battery Hens or Cage Fighting?

So the latest update on the rebuild is that the wall outside our classroom is being moved closer and a cage has been put on the walkway (for our safety, of course).

When Mr Rogers said that the new building was getting closer this is not what I imagined! Still, it's going to be great when the new buildings are finished!

This is the HUGE crane they used to shift the wall (Donald Trump would be proud!)

Here are some pictures taken by Ruby (7Sh), Josh (8Gb) and Jakita (8Gb):
