Room 10 Term 4 - from the Syndicate Newsletter
ROOM 10
TERM 4 2014
Room 10 started Term 4 with lots of
tests, thankfully most students made progress. Earlier in the term Mrs Puke
selected some students to be in the Ki o Rahi team for the Raukawa Nga Taonga
Takaro intermediate interschool’s tournament .The students that were selected
from room 10 were Cora Hulme, Joyzius Tunnapopo, Bailie Lyttle, Brooklyn Manu,
Kani Manu, Jeremy Sneddon and JWA.
In early November it was that time of
the year where everyone participates in the school athletics. We had long jump,
high jump, sprints, shot put and discus. Kani being Room 10’s athletic star
nearly became junior boy champion. The best of the best in athletics made it to
Waikato Intermediate Athletics.
For the past few Monday and Tuesday’s
we have had a syndicate sports competition in our Tech Arts groups, we played
the Tech Arts groups from the other classes. Room 10B won and 10A got 2nd
equal. We also had syndicate relays
and of course Room 10 won the Syndicate Relay Cup. Room 10 has won it every
year except 2010 which room 12 won and if you ask me we are pretty darn goodJ. Sadly we haven’t won another interclass sport for a while.
Finally the event everybody had been
waiting for….THE MARAE TRIP #shamazing. We started the Marae trip with a
Powhiri which is the Maori way to welcome you on to the Marae, then we sang our
little hearts out to Hareruia. After the powhiri we had the mean as kai; yum,
yum, yummy thanks to all the great parents. We learnt about some of the
carvings. The next day we went up to TA
and went to a museum we learnt how to weave using flax. it was very interesting after that we went
down to a park which you can see on our blog. Once we had finished our lunch at
the shamazing park, we went back to the museum and learnt about the Waikato Wars.
We then travelled back to the marae and played till it was time to have dinner
then it was off the movie to watch Mockingjay.
To finish off the term we had a fun
day with lots of relays, a movie and a
Christmas activity in first place were the ‘jerry cherry’s’ then the Nevada’s
then the Mc sausages.
Last Tuesday we had our school social
and Cora got best Yr7 dancer and Nevada got best dressed along with JWA .
Now we are all anxiously awaiting for
prize giving - let’s hope Room Ten gets lots of award .
Seen and heard by your
faithful correspondents Kiana and Cora

Room 10's Marae Stay 2014
Late in November every year Room 10 stay at Papa O Te Aroha Marae for 2 nights.
This year they were welcomed on with a powhiri, learnt marae kawa, and got some expert tuition in stick games - Titi torea, from Whaea Awhina. They heard the stories of many of the many beautiful whakairo ( carvings) and saw other examples of culture and heritage - the tukuku panels and kowhaiwhai.
After very little sleep they headed off to Te Awamutu Museum to experience the Making Muka programme and learn about the Waikato Wars. Went to the latest Hunger Games movie, walked back to the marae in the dark and played spotlight. Another late night and some work done in the morning ( yes Brooklyn you paid $65 to write a diary!) then a swim in the Town Pools and home.
A full on two days but a great chance for the class to spend time together in different learning environments. It was fun...
