Being Creative
This afternoon Toby, Savva and Henning were having a bit of time creating using the Knex in our room. This piece is titled: "Corona virus". I love the symmetry of their creation.

Jump Jam Competitors
On Friday night two teams from Hamilton East School competed in the Jump Jam Competition at Boys High School. We were really proud of the students in our class, who were in each team. In the Freaky Hotdogs Team we had Eli, Cefton and Layton. In the HamEast Party Girls we had Maia, Olivia, Ana-Beatriz and Natalia.
Both teams received a trophy: The Freaky Hotdogs came second and the Party Girls came third BUT there was only half a point between the two teams. Well done!

Genius Hour
Term 3 was the term for us to work on our Genius Hour projects. Students
came up with their driving question and then worked on this either
collaboratively or independently over the term. Some students found that their
original driving question was too big and needed a little fine-tuning but they all
learnt a lot.
In Week 9 we presented our projects initially to Room 8. Then Room 8 and 10
moved all our hard work down to the hall and invited Rooms 9, 11 and 12
to come and see what we had learnt.
Please take a look at our Genius Hour Slideshow!
