Muffin Magic

Testing which muffin recipe would be a favourite for the students to purchase if they were available from the Tuck shop... Yummmm!

Culture and Cook Offs

The cultural festival is in full swing and today we celebrate PACIFIC CULTURE!

The extension trialling and cook off continues each Tuesday!

Bush tucker

What kind of food could we take on camp to cook up in the bush? Something to keep us cosy on a damp night in a tent?

 

Amo La Pizza

Wow! We’ve come back from fitness to Big Pizza Pies. It’s Amore ( To quote DEAN MARTIN ) They are so delicious our mouths are watering in anticipation!!!

Tasters

The first weeks of the school year saw all Year 7 and new Year 8 students, along with our International students at H.I.S take part in our Taster programme.

 

In Visual Art students were introduced to the art room and given an idea about some of the things we get up to here. We looked at some previous inquiry projects, as well as the kinds of things we do in Art Extension. Then we got stuck in to a watercolour workshop, starting with some basic techniques, followed by a painting of their choice.

At Soft Materials, students sewed dot to dots and lines on paper to give them an idea of how it feels to operate a sewing machine, as this was a new experience for many of them. 

 

 

In Food Technology, students used lots of cooked vegetables to make a quick snack, encouraging the use of left overs at home. They also made our special H.I.S cookies, which have been a school favourite for some years. 

 

 

During the Music taster sessions students were introduced to various music learning opportunities. We looked at ex-students projects to provide students with ideas of how they can link music into their inquiry. Students were given hands-on time to experiment with a variety of instruments and learn about music technology. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And so it begins...

Welcome to the Howick Intermediate Specialists Blog. We are looking forward to sharing some of the fantastic things students create here, and we hope you enjoy this glimpse of life in our specialist classrooms at H.I.S.
