Collab-oration in action!

Our students collabrate a lot in a variety of ways for many reasons. Sometimes by choice and other times when directed. IT helps us a lot when we collaborate and makes presenting our ideas and information fun and interesting.

GET WRITING NZ

Warehouse Stationery rolled out a New Zealand-wide 'Get Writing' project for schools last term. Each participating class was 'buddied' with another class somewhere in New Zealand for the purpose of exchanging postcards and an 'All About Us' poster. This was a motivating writing task that gave us a real audience for our stunning metaphor writing. Mrs Skinner's literacy group exchanged writing with Waverley Park School in Invercargill. It was SO exciting to get our courier pack from them!
Here is our work:

BCC Club Interschool Cricket

BHPS was ably represented at the Birkenhead City Cricket Club Interschool Cricket Tournament in Term 1. With two boys teams and one girls team entered, we certainly held our own amongst the local schools with a mixture of wins and losses and some gutsy performances.
Skate (Sarah Kate) Millar very generously came in to train the teams at lunchtime in the run up to the tournament then managed a team on the day, along with Alex Matipo and Steve Chad who also managed teams at the tournament. A great day out at the cricket had by all!

BHPS Team A Boys, B Boys and our Girls teams gathered for a group shot.

FUN RUN - OUR CAN DO ATTITUDE ON SHOW!

The weather finally cleared so we could get on with our fundraising Fun Run. This was an excellent way for us to take part in healthy pursuits, raise money and show just how well we can 'Participate and Contribute' at BHPS!
