Māori Language Week

This week, Hīnau have had a great time during Māori Language. In class, we did activities that taught us about language and telling people about us.

On Tuesday we all went and did a rotation that had us doing Māori craft, games or waiata. We had lots of fun.

Here is some of the things we did below.

Hīnau "Acids and Bases" Science Term 2

This term Hīnau have been focusing on "Acids and Bases" in Science


In this unit, students have been gaining an understanding of what acids and bases are and how they work individually and apart.
We have been focusing on:
  • Identifying what an acid and a base is by using a PH scale
  • Explaining the differences between acids and bases using their senses
  • Posing questions about why an experiment has a particular reaction
  • Using diagrams to explain what has happened in experiments by including detailed labels

We also explored combining acids and bases on paper to see what would happen!

Here are some pictures of our experiments....
