One more week of holidays left...

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a great holiday and are almost ready to start school again next Tuesday! Mr Scott and I are already back at school, getting ready for a brand new school year. We are wondering how many of you will be ready to start day one with your very own chromebook?

As lots of you will know from the end of last year, I had a very exciting holidays planned. My big news is that I got married so I now have a new name to confuse you all! Instead of being Miss Weaver I am now Mrs Mclachlan. I was lucky enough to have a wonderful trip away to America and Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. Mitch and I had a super time and saw and did lots of cool things. I'm really looking forward to the new school year and seeing you all again.

Enjoy the last week of your break and see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed on Tuesday 2nd February! - Mrs Mclachlan

Check out my neat, new friend I made in Mexico!

Christchurch Schools Music Festival

Last night Tehya, Inaka, Siola, Samicle and Manaia represented Hornby Primary at the Christchurch music festival with Miss D and some other lovely Trekkers. The girls sang beautifully and showed great perseverance and commitment. The best part of the night was the final song which was Slice of Heven! It was such a fun song to finish the night off. 

Lunch Club! Yummy!

What a delicious lunch! Ham and salad sandwich, yummy! A big thanks to the PSG for all of their help.

The power of feedback

This week we watched a cool video about a boy who listened carefully to feedback from his friends to improve his drawing of a butterfly.

Each day we have had a go doing the same thing with a picture of a kangaroo. After each drawing attempt we meet with a buddy who shares with us what we have done well and gives us a suggestion for what we could do to improve our work.
