Term 3 in Room 10 - from the Syndicate Newsletter

Room 10 students started the term learning about Sexuality Education. The girls got sent to Room 12 with Mrs Long and the boys went into room 9 with Mr Noke. From there we discussed the phases that you go through when you reach puberty. 

BREAKING NEWS there have been sightings of our new principal she is a lady named ……. Mrs Mariassouce’ she used to teach at a school called Paerata School. 

Speeches: A couple of weeks ago it was that time of the year that everybody hates, 
SPEECHES. Everybody in the school had to deliver a speech on the topic that they chose then they had to deliver it to their class and the top 4 in every class went to the Syndicate finals, the four lucky winners from our class were Keawe #food Cora #Fears Kiana # old people, Nevada # pool /8 ball. 2 students from our class made it to the school finals they were Kiana and Keawe. Mrs Puke was very proud of all her class. 

Cross country: “Go go go” cheered our friends as we were running the track for cross country. A lot of people made it in to the top 20 from our class they were Te Amorangi, Nevada, Akeisha Shontelle, Cora, Zak, Jayviar, Matthew, Bailie and Jack. Production: Only one of our students Kiana Mclean was brave enough to join the production, Kiana played the role of the mean troll but lucky for us she is not a mean troll she is actually a really nice person.

 Sports: Every Monday and Tuesday our syndicate goes out for P.E and this term we have been doing athletic skills including high jump, long jump shot put cricket ball throw. 

Scary narratives: Our big topic for this term is scary narratives we have been reading and writing scary stories. To give us some inspiration on writing our stories Mrs Puke has been reading us out loud DRACULA the whole class loves it. 

Extension: about half of our class is in a Technology Extension group. Every Monday after lunch a bunch of kids from our class go to their extension groups here is some things that they have been doing. In cooking Kiana, Cora and Karma have been making animal biscuits with Mrs Duffin. In Art Kade, Sarah, Nevada, Bethany, Robert and Jack have been using water colours. In ICT Bailie and Akeisha have been learning how to make and create animations. In materials Mr Wild has taught Jeremy Ellie and Zak how to make a “do nothing machine”, it goes around and around and around.

 This term has been a very successful 10 weeks for Room 10, we’ve all worked hard. .
