What Inspires You?

Yesterday afternoon Tyrone, a year 10 student from Tamaki College came to sing us a song.

Why? He writes and performs his own music and has shared this on Homai Te Pakipaki.  This Friday he will perform once again and you can vote to support him.  What inspires him to chase his dream?  A love of music and the chance to be famous one day!

What is your dream? 

Back into Action!

The first week of Term 4 was always going to be busy, Room 9 were up for the challenge and it was an awesome week!

This Term we finish off our Rugby World Cup learning as we cheer for our favourite teams until the end.  We will be investigating how plants grow by replanting the garden outside our classroom. As well as all this we will be having a 'Book Week' and creating a library display about Paul Jennings, having a school poetry recital and finding time for all the other learning and fun that needs to happen.  

Term 3 Speeches

At the end of term three the speech finals were held.  Three finalists from Room 9 were chosen who had all put a huge amount of effort into their speech.  They came up with interesting topics, great ideas and practiced to remember them.  We are all very proud of them, great work you three! 

Celebrating Success at the End of Term 3

We have reached the end of Term 3.  Room 9 have all worked hard and we celebrate some of their achievements.

Inter-schools Cross Country

Four exhausted runners at the end of races at Bailey Road School!  After weeks of training, they made it to the inter-schools cross country and represented our school well.  

Congratulations Meana, Lupe, Dakbai and Sione.

Homework A Grades

It takes consistent effort to complete your homework to a high standard every week.

In Room 9 these four have achieved A grades for the entire term by completing all tasks to their best standard each week.  

Well done Sione, Thanush, Meana and Min Zin.

Cross Country Stars

On Wednesday our school cross country was held.  Everyone in Room 9 showed great stamina!  A special congratulations to our finalists: Sione, Lupe, Dakbai, Meana, Azahar and Isabell.  (Unfortunately not everyone was at school on Friday to get their certificate.) 

The Mad Scientists of Room 9!

On Wednesday Room 9 was taken over by scientists investigating: 'How clouds make rain'.

They discovered that when a cloud has collected enough water droplets it gets heavier and heavier until water droplets fall to earth as rain.

 

Symmetrical Style

Symmetry + paper folding = amazing artworks

By learning two simple origami folds Room 9 learners were able to create these stunning symmetrical artworks. Arranging their folded pieces into different patterns, keeping in mind lines of reflective symmetry.
