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

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

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.

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.

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

NYLD


On Monday 21st 2018  all the other leaders from my school, Hokowhitu School went to National Young Leaders Day. We all got chosen to be with different parents. The parents took us to the arena where the special event was happening. When we got there the hole place was filled with people and all those people were leaders.
Once we got inside there were people walking in every direction,  left, right, front, back. Everyone was talking. Once we got into the actual arena the seats were filled with people.  I sat down with Aisha and Lee and then waited for all the other leaders from all the other schools to come in. While we were waiting music was playing from the loud speakers, they were playing some boss music. At the arena there were a lot of important people there, including Vince Harder and William Wairua. At the end of the show Will and Vince were singing some songs, including wowee, 24k magic (Chris Brown) and his new song Sugar Coated. Then after that the show was over and we were all walking out of the arena and everyone was pushing. I was walking beside Miss Bisset, my teacher. Once we all got out we went with our groups and walked to our car with our parents. The parents drove us back to Hokowhitu School. The end, by your leader Arapata.

                             
blog

for some strange reason whenever I try
and write a post on the blog...
It backfires.I'm probably doing something wrong but still.
I tried to do one at home once, but I think I know now what
was wrong. I think I did it on my personal account...
Ahh...

                                                        WILD BOY

It was a bright morning in hokowhitu school. 
I was so excited for a well-known man who walked the length of New Zealand is coming to Hokowhitu School.
It is WILD BOY!!   Everybody adored him.  He was super fun and we learned about so many things.
I'm sure everyone liked him and now he is doing an expedition in Greenland.
He is just an awesome guy.
