Netball Tournament

On Tuesday the HHS Netballers played against netballers from all over Wellington at the Haitaiti Netball Courts. The HHS Fire Ferns won all their games but one was a tie, then the HHS Firebirds won two, lost two and drew two. We all had a fun time and enjoyed playing against other schools and challenging themselves.  

Many thanks to Mr Barnao for giving us this opportunity and to the parents for helping.

Polyhedra- 3D Shapes

We were looking at Polyhedron shapes (3-D shapes with straight edges and flat sides) today. We had a go making them with play dough and iceblock sticks.
We were counting up (V) Vertices (Corners), (E) Edges and (F) Faces. Back in 1750 Leonard Euler discovered this pattern. The pattern was V+F-2 = E. With a cube you have 8 vertices and 6 faces (8+6=14) and subtract 2 and you get the number of edges (12). That’s pretty cool!
