Library Sessions
On Mondays every week, Room 18 goes to the School Library. In this time we get to choose books that interest us, read books and also issue books. The maximum books are 4 but we get around 2-3 books weekly. Some kids like bulky chapter books while others prefer a decent size book or maybe a graphic novel and that's what makes each one of us different. Here are some photos of us in the library.

Year 8 Performing Arts
For technology in Term 2, the Year 8's had Performing Arts. Our teacher was Mrs Taloa and she helped us with our Performance. Everyone had different roles in the performance and it was really funny because we had to change our voices to make us sound like the character and we really enjoyed acting.
Year 7 Fabric Tech
For technology in Term 2, the Year 7's had Fabric. Our teacher was Mrs Nicholls and she taught us how to make a tivaevae pattern. We had to make one based on something that had a sense of belonging to us. We used various stitches in our design including a back stitch, a running stitch, a blanket stitch and some of us managed to make a chain stitch. Everyone had fun making the tivaevae patterns and the we really enjoyed it.
Kids Can Fun Run
On Friday the 28th June 2019, Our School had the Kids Can Fun Run. Every syndicate had different sports to chose from Rugby, Handball, Basketball, Two-legged Races and Table Tennis. Our teacher took Two legged Races. Everyone enjoyed being outside and playing fun sports activities. Thank you Kids Can!!
Our Class STEAM
Our class STEAM Project is Popsicle Stick Catapult.
We made it using Some Popsicle sicks, a few rubber bands and a bottle cap. We used tape to keep the bottle cap in place, but if you have a glue gun you can use that as well. The catapult was first invented because of a Greek man called Dionysius the Elder who wanted to create a new weapon and therefore created a catapult in the 400BC.

Temple Visit 2019
Our Temple Visit
On Monday the 17th of June, Our syndicate Ururangi went to a Buddhists Temple. We walked to the Temple as it was just a walkable distance. When we got there we were split into 2 groups, Room 17 and Room 19. We learned lots about their culture and we enjoyed the visit.
