Every year the students of Team 5 spend the first few weeks of Term 1 using Hyperstudio to draw their own visual mihi. Each student starts off by tracing a picture of themselves. It is important to note that when it comes to using Hyperstudio this is generally the only thing that are students are permitted to trace. Therefore, as you look at the different visual mihi in this movie you will see original graphic artwork from our students based on 4 important aspects of their own life as they see it right now.

The 2020 School Year has begun!
This morning, the campus of Pt England was buzzing with excitement beginning around 7:30 and it continued straight until the 8:50 bell rang for school to start. The 2020 students of PES filed into the hall to sit for the last time in their 2019 class lines while they waited for their names to be called so they could discover who their 2020 teachers were going to be.
Mr. Burt, our principal, along with our Year 8 prefects welcomed the students, and parents before talking about our 2020 theme of Never Lose Hope. He then went on to dismiss our Year 8 students to their block, where they prepared for a few minutes to welcome the Year 7s to the intermediate block of the school.
When the Year 7s came in, they were greeted by the Prefects standing in front of the Year 8 class. Each prefect said something as part of the powhiri (welcome) and then both groups joined together as our 2020 Intermediate family to sing a waiata (song) together for the first time.
As part of the group that arrived with the Year 7s was Whaea Mary our new te reo teacher. She blessed us with her mihi and then spent the day in our block participating in our first day of school activities while meeting some of the students.

Welcome to Room 1 2020!
Kia ora! And Welcome to the 2020 school year! This year, my class is once again representing the Year 7/8 students in Room 1 at Pt England School in Auckland, New Zealand. Our class is one of five homeclasses, and six literacy and maths classes in our intermediate block.
Every student in our block has their very own Chromebook and all of our learning can be seen on our class site with our completed assignment tasks shared on our individual blogs. Each year, our school chooses one of our school values to focus our learning on. This year, our value is hope as illustrated in our lovely 2020 graphic. We will be focusing on Kia mau tonu te tūmanako or Never lose Hope.
We would love to have you follow our Year 7/8 learning journey this year as we work together to Learn, Create and Share on our class and individual blogs.

Year 7/8 Polyfest Trip
This year, the year 7/8 students from Pt England spent the day at Polyfest exploring various future opportunities, while having fun building relationships with students from across the team. Here is the movie we put together to show on PENN (our school news network). We hope you enjoy and that when you are done watching, your class tries the "Polyfest Dance Challenge" too!
