2011

So far 2011 is going pretty good, I am kind of enjoying it. We are in a new class but we are still a digital class and it is great. We are now doing wikis as well which are a new challenge for us. We have a new teacher and lots of new challenges. I would like to do well this year and complete everything that I want to complete.

Super Kid

Since week 8 room 23 has been doing activities for Super Kid. The activities that we do are 100m sprint, card making, creating a hat, baking a cake, home made gift, animation, 50 knowledge questions, 50 times tables, mintie wrapper rip and ice block suck. Super kid is a great way to end the year because it is so fun doing all the activities. The aim is to get the lowest score possible so if you come 1st in something you get 1 point and thats the best you can get. Whoever gets the lowest score and is also the winner they will win a super kid t-shirt with the logo on it. So far it has been really fun so I cant wait to do the next few activities.

Athletics

On Tuesday the 16th of November Pukekohe Intermediate School had their Athletics day. The students had a choice out of the fun athletics or Competitive, the school ended up having 300 people in Competitive and 300 in the fun day. The whole of my class (room 23) competed in the competitive athletics and two of them made it to Zone. Some of us didn't get a placing but it was still a really great day thanks to Mrs Hancock.

Seminars

Since the start of Term 4 the whole of Pukekohe Intermediate School has been set a task to complete a seminar each. The year 7's can do a like or interest and the year 8's do a career, but some of the year 7's are aloud to do a career. I have chosen to do mine on Taekwon-Do, this is an interest Because I do Taekwon-Do as a sport. I have been working really hard on this and to find enough information I talked to my instructor and I also looked in the Taekwon-Do bible. I hope my seminar is finished to a high standard and the students enjoy it.

Term 4

This Term Pukekohe Intermediate is going to to be really busy with all of the things going on. One of the things we are doing is Athletics. We are practicing at sport time and some classes are going over to Pukekohe High School to practice. . We have a choice if we want to do competitive Athletics which is long jump, shot put and those things, or you can do fun activities like hackie sack throwing and fun games.

Because its getting into summer time we are going to need to wear hats and bring water bottles to school. This is a big safety thing so you don't get skin cancer and with your drink bottles you don't get de-hydrated.

Every year Pukekohe Intermediate students have to do a seminar. The year eights do it on a career they want to do when they are older and the year sevens do it on something they enjoy or like. We are researching a lot at the moment so they are to a high standard.

A couple of my goals for this term are: to get a high score for my seminar and to do well in the term 4 tests.

Next week which is week 3 the year sevens are having all their testing and the tests might be a bit challenging. Then in week 5 Room 23 are having our class testing to see what we are capable of.

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.
