Performance

On Wednesday 12 June Mrs Tate's sister came to our assembly and sang a couple of songs for us. She had a bright red funky wig a checkered dress and bright red tights. This wasn't just any lady she gets paid to sing and sung at a festival on Saturday. We all enjoyed her performance and are grateful she could make it.

College Sport!

On Wednesday 5th June, Kakapo and some of Toroa syndicate went up to Tawa College and we had our first lesson of College Sport! First everyone got divided into ten groups, each group was given a year 13 student to teach/coach us, Then we were told what sport each group would be doing over the 5 week period.
My group is doing gymnastics. The other options included basketball,  netball, rugby (touch) and soccer. It has been really fun so far and i'm looking forward to next week! :)

Kahurangi Performence

On Friday the 31st of May a group from Hastings called Kahurangi
came to perform for our school. There were six of them performing
different kinds of dancing and stories from polyneisian places.
They peformed types of dancing from Rarotonga, Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti
and the might Aotearoa. It was fun and funny.
My favourite performence was the one from Aotearoa because they
included students from our and also Mr Savell, which made it
even more funny.It was a great performence and I'm sure everyone liked it.

Cross country

On Wednesday the 29th of May, Tawa Intermediate had cross country. After morning tea, we all went down to the hall and waited for our next instruction. Mr O'c had explained everything and told us what was going to happen, we waited for our year group to be called.

First it was the year seven girls, followed by the year seven boys. Once they had set off on their race, it was time for the year eight girls to warm up on the courts. We had a little time to warm up then the hooter went off. We all started running, in hope of coming in with a great score. We just kept running and running and hoped we'd see the finish line soon.

We had swimming competitions for free style and then we had class relays for free style. When we went to the spots courts we were blown away because there were 3 courts all conected and they all had score boards with easy to use remotes.

We had three games set up; Hockey, Netball and Basketball. We roatated in our groups and when we had finished that we had some free time to play anything that we want!

Over all the whole trip was great fun!!!
