Room 10 2019

It's Week 5, Term 1 and the class have spent the last five weeks getting to know each other, our school and its rules and expectations, and making Room 10 'their classroom'.

Remember poems were revisited - we had a fun look back on our year ...

Speeches

The school speech competition was held in Week 3, prior to this we had our class and Syndicate finals to determine who would present their speeches in the Year 7 finals. Bailey, Kylah, and Jo represented Room 10.
Jo gave an amazing persuasive speech and was the Year 7 winner. Kylah's was announced Best Informative speech.

Pepeha

During Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori the class prepared their pepeha - these were delivered when we were at Papa O Te Aroha Marae last month. They've also recorded them: Copy the link to hear them.

Thanks McDonalds

McDonalds Tokoroa have sponsored our school for the past 20 years, they generously sponsor a weekly free Big Mac for one child per class - known at Tokoroa Intermediate as the McDonalds Award. So 11 burgers per week for 40 weeks...
Tokoroa Intermediate appreciates this so each class has written  thank you letters to Mr and Mrs Byrne the owners to show our appreciation - here are Room 10's:
