On Monday 21st of May, all of the leaders from Hokowhitu school went to something amazing, The National Young Leaders Day. It was so cool, the following people spoke to us, Kelly Wilson, Lisa Tamati, Jono Naylor, Riley Hathaway, Vince Harder, William Wairua. I liked when Vince Harder and Will Wairua sang Wowee. The speakers said a lot of inspirational things e.g face your fears, follow your dreams. By Will

The kids lit quiz!

One rainy morning at Hokowhitu school, the kids Lit quiz team Anisa, Tiria, Madeliene and I, charlotte were waiting out in the cold and wet.We were waiting for Mrs Gifford-Moore to come and take us to P.N.I.N.S. for the Lit Quiz. Finally she arrived in her pitch black Mercedes Benz, It was like something out of a fairy tale. "Come on you lot get in or we'll be late!", she yelled out. Once we were in the magical Mercedes, Anisa started singing pop goes the weasel. Suddenly the car came to a holt, "we are here" Mrs Gifford -Moore bellowed.We were finally here at P.N.I.N.S about to win this amazing competition. Wow, there's a lot of schools here. By Charlotte. 

Science

Last Thursday we had a man come over to do some science, he showed us a lot of interesting and cool things. My favourite experiments was the experiments with the dry ice, I liked the frozen marshmallows, yum! I also liked the balloon one, seeing them deflate them inflate again was so cool!

SCIENCE

Science 

On the 22nd of May 2018 we did Science.

We had 5 cups. In each cup there was a substance labeled either A, B, C, D, E, or INDICATOR.

My buddies were Gemma and Sihui.

Before we added the INDICATOR we smelt them all. A smelt like L&P, B smelt like Vinegar, and all the others smelt like chemicals.

After we added the INDICATOR A, B, and D all turned a shade of Pink. The C and E turned a shade of Green.

We found out that C was Dishwashing Liquid. We still never knew what D and E were.

We talked and we think that the INDICATOR was Red cabbage.

E, D, C, B, A                        By Gracie .A

matific

TKT is learning heaps from a site called matific.

Matific is an amazing site because it covers everything mathematical you can think of,  except calculus.
I think everyone should play it and learn from it. Here is the link click. When you get on, make an account and play away!

Science Show

Last Thursday a science man came to our school to show us some cool experiments. My favourite were the liquid nitrogen ones. I loved the frozen marshmallows they tasted like ice cream, yum! I also liked the balloon one where he put the balloon in the liquid nitrogen and the balloon deflated and then when he took it out again it slowly started to inflate again, it was so cool!

cross country training

Cross country training  
In cross country training is lots of fun. I had sore legs all the way around.  I like running in the forest and past the park. Everybody is awesome at running and doing well, some people walk. When we finish running we meet in workshops and reading groups. In my reading group we are doing hot seat. When I got home I had a nice dinner and warm bath.
Thank you for reading my blogger post. By Emerald Polson

My math story

My Math story
The first day I came to Hokowhitu School. I felt like I didn't know
anything about Maths. I remember in Korea that I was the king of 
Maths. A few days ago I was doing Basic Facts. But it is easy to 
me! And I study everyday and I got  to  finish my basic fact.And I am still king of Maths. And no one has caught up to me yet by leejun
