Back Day!

We’re going to have BLACK DAY on Thurs 17 Sept to show our support for the All Blacks in their world cup campaign.  Start planning your outfits now!

Crazy day was CRAZY!!!

What a laugh crazy day was! We all dressed up and looked awesome in all our CRAZY outfits! We raised lots of money for the SPCA and it was so much fun!

Senior Team Mathex Challenge!

Another AWESOME activity during maths week was our senior team mathex challenge run by our very own mathex kids.
We were pushed to our limits and had to use many skills and strategies to solve the problems in our groups. Well Done Mathex kids for organising this event! It was loads of FUN!!!

Maths Trail

During maths week we all participated in a maths trail around the school. Some of the questions were really tricky but together, in our teams, we were able to do lots of problem solving!

We are excited for MATHS WEEK!

This week is maths week and in room 4 we are going to be putting our brains into overdrive. We are going to challenging ourselves with daily dollar questions, a maths trail with the rest of the senior team, problem solving brain teasers, and our very own Halcombe School Senior Mathex challenge.

We are ready to go!!!

Congatulations to our Yr5 Mathex team!

Last Friday, 4 students from room 4 competed in the year 5 mathex competition in Palmerston North. They competed against 46 other teams from the Manawatu region and came away with a very 3rd place victory! They are very proud of their effort and we, too, are all very proud of them!!! Congratulations Team!! Top Effort!! 

CRAZY DAY IS COMING!!!!

Maori Language week!

Last week we celebrated Maori language week. Throughout the week we practiced lots of Maori terminology and then on Friday we played SNAP with our buddy class, room 1. It was loads of fun and we got to help our buddy class recognise Maori words we have learnt.
