Touch Typing











Today at school we had a touch typing test on sense lang. I don't think I did very good and I know that I can do better, I had trouble finding one of the letters and then I realised that it was on caps lock. I was a bit disappointed with myself and I know that next time I will try a lot harder and I will be practicing up till then.

Maori Language week

Week 2 Term 3 New Zealand celebrated Maori Language Week and the theme was Te Mahi Kai which means the language of food. At Pukekohe Intermediate we had a class activity that had to be completed each morning through out the whole week. Their were prizes to be won from the cool activities and there was a poster competition and even a fishing competition, the class winner of the fishing competition was Room 43 with 11 fish so congratulations to them. This was a fun week to celebrate with all the Maori greatings and fearwells that we learnt each morning. I can't wait ti'l next year round to celebrate it again.
