Chatter rings!

In Room 10, Chatter Rings have become strangely popular again.

But did you know?

The chatter ring refers to a type of skill toy. A standard chatter ring is composed of five brass beads strung onto a stainless steel ring. Activate the beads by flicking them and then to maintain their on-going activity by turning the main ring as the beads continue to spin. The objective of playing the chatter ring is to perform moves from large range of tricks, which become more and more difficult.The Chatter Ring was produced in 1996, in Hastings, New Zealand. Large quantities were sold through The Warehouse. It is still available today via Trademe.

We welcomed our new Principal

On the 25th of October Tokoroa Intermediate School welcomed our new principal Mr Thompson. First Mr Fisher spoke and he got the school to give 3 cheers for the All Blacks winning the Rugby World Cup. Then we had the kapa haka group and the Poly group welcome Mr Thompson and his wife to our school

The Poly Group got some teachers and Mr Thompson up on stage for ‘Round the World’.

Mr Puke and Auntie Amy also came to welcome him. Mr Puke is from the B.O.T and he said a few words to Mr Thompson. Auntie Amy sang a song.

Mr Thompson then said some words to everyone in Maori . Then we finished off with the whole school singing some songs. We think Mr Thompson is going to be a great Principal.
