another wet lunch ...and the Rugby World Cup comes to Tokoroa Intermediate

Today (Friday 24 February)  The World Cup Rugby Road  Show Tour came to Tokoroa Intermediate School. There were some members of the Waikato Rugby Union. Also with them was Regina Sheck who was once a Black Fern – the Black Ferns are the reigning Women’s World Cup Rugby champions
Rueben Hurliman got to carry the World Cup into Assembly – he had a massive grin on his face as he walked down the aisle.
 We were told about all the competitions we could enter and their prizes. Three of our students got to hold the World Cup. 
We were disappointed no All Blacks came too , they were at training with the Chiefs for tomorrow’s game. To wrap up the morning we sang our guests ‘Tokoroa’. We were allowed to have photo's with the cup, as it was taking a long time we had a syndicate photo.

We've had a lot of rain this week and that has meant short lunch times and shut in class.This can get a little boring - but not if Rico is around ...

We have some amazingly imaginative pupils in Room 10 this year; this is evident in the wonderful mobiles that have been created ...

Lakyn has a ukelele theme
an NBA influence for Rico!

Porche used  feathers.

creative use of geometical shapes from Cam'

Lawrence aimed big!  .

the 2 sides of Mana's


Jake used DVD covers and had a Harry Potter theme ( surprise, surprise - featuring our Jotter lol!)


Big and bold from Tyrahn

anyone for tennis?  Taylah's very colourful racket!

Jevon's - truly a work of art!

flowers and greenery on Katie Mae's

Angel likes leaves

Tikal's - neat and easy to read.


clear and colourful from Mitchell

a military theme from our prospective soldier Michael

Sarah's (the camera angle doesn't do this justice!)
Grace had lots of references to her Maori whanau
Thomas had a 'rock star' theme to his - what a masterpiece !
Elijah's

Emmy 's Cook Island  heritage is important to her.
