Year Recount
Oh my gosh, I can just remember my first day of intermediate at Tamaki Intermediate School. I was really, really excited but a little bit nervous because I just finished being the oldest in a primary school and now I was back to being the youngest. But I also realised that intermediate would open a whole lot of new opportunities and experiences!
During the first week I got to meet a lot of people, and who knew I was going to become good friends with them. Well on my first day which was one day late bcause I had a sore stomach, I walked into school feeling really shy but then who did I see, the one and only Shaye! I had all ready known Shaye from the year before so we ran to each and I was finally excited. Then we had to go to an assembly in the hall. I was put in Mrs Bailey's class, Room 5. It was the class for the students that preferred to be taught in Bilingual. During the days that I was in Room5 all we did was tests and played games that helped us get to know each other. The game that we played the most was Donut. On the day that we got our technology groups, it was really confusing. You see there was a mix up with Maria in Room 12 and myself. It turned out that from all the tests, Room 5 was split up into Room 2, 3 and 12.
The most boring thing about that whole term was tests, tests, tests, tests and more..... TESTS! One thing that I loved doing was swimming. We did this in Term One at the Panmure Swimming Pools. Everyone done this in Gender and Year. It was really fun.
Then we had Term 1 Holidays. That was a relief.
Then Term Two started. We all found out that we were going to be studying Unity in Diversity. We also found out that during the term we were going to do a Cultural Catwalk type thing. We would have to walk down the middle of the hall with a costume from our culture. Well before we done that we had to study different cultres and find differences and stuff that was the same. It was so interesting. We found out things like in Samoa and Tonga they have the same food as Maori. That was really interesting to find out.
Well when we did the cat walk it was really funny. You could see all these cultures and they were really cool to look at. When ever A different culture walked out a song from their culture played. That was a really fun day.
One more exhilarating thing that happened to Room 3 was, wait for it... We got our netbooks!!!!!
That term was as usual really, really educating and quite fun. Then as we had earned it, the holdays!!! YAYYYYY!!!!
Wow! Term Three all ready!
Well in Term 3 we learnt all about Rugby World Cup. At school we also held a Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony! This involved A series of games and a huge competition that with a huge effort Room 1 won.
Back to normal in class we were learning all about the Rugby World Cup and it's countries and history. It was very good information to learn because you never know when a Rugby World Cup TEST might come along.
Hmmmmmm, what else happened, oh yes, Room 3 was given a huge suprise when we found out that we were getting a student teacher, Mrs Soutar. With Mrs Soutar in class we all had a lot of fun because Mrs Parker was given a break and Mrs Soutar was really funny. She also introduced the Chance Box to Room 3.
One more really fun thing that we got to do in Term 3 was that we got to do the filming for the Manaiakalani Film Festival!!!!!! The whole class got to go to Sylvia Park to film for our short film doing a haka in front of absolute strangers. And another thing is that we got the opportunity to be on these absolute strangers phones! How brilliant! Not. But anyways it was really cool and we got an opportunity to represent our school in public.
Wow, what a term so I suppose that, that means we get a holiday! YAY, YAY, YAAAAAY!!!
Now, Term 4 what is in store for us this term, aha, don't tell me end of year tests! But also other stuff like EOTC. Oh my gosh I am so excited! And also the chance to send off our Year Eights to the big world and wish them well at college. So that also means Prize Giving. Well who wouldn't like that??? Certainly not me!!! I am so happy, happy, happy!
Now since I have explained the terms, let me quickly explain to you the extras.
Just so you know during this year Tamaki Intermediate has been told some bad news, that we will be shutting down at the end of 2012. But do you know what that means? It means next year we have to have the best year of our lives.
Something else is that Tamaki Intermediate and our awesomely athletic pupils have been doing really well at sports. With awesome coaches and students why wouldn't we be?
This year we have also had Choir and Kapa Haka. I am in both of these and I can say that Kapa Haka is working brilliantly at earning money for their trip and Choir has been practising so hard for our APPA Choir Show in Auckland City. I am so excited because I get to do the Karanga for the National Anthem!
Wow! what a year I am so glad I came to Tamaki Intermediate School for Year 7 because of brilliant friends, teachers and learning what else cold be better? Well, special thanks to everyone especially staff for making this year fantastic for not only myself but also everyone else too.
