Term two is going well so far for Room Eleven, we have had different spec classes, discos, cross country but worst of all MORE HOMEWORK!

Spec classes are going well. Art students are painting portraits and music is learning to play a new piece called ‘Boris the baseman.’  Woodwork is making pencil cases and pencils while Foods continues to make scrumptious foods such as macaroni and cheese to strawberry sponge roll!

Kakapos homework this term is simple so it should be getting done, there are things like vocabulary sheets and basic facts sheets to be done and practised at home.

The disco was this term and it was a blast! They had Dance competitions, photo booths, sausage sizzles and much much more. Room eleven say it was very fun.

The biggest thing that has happened this term is Cross Country, Room eleven did very well with scores like Bailey coming 5^th and Kaelyn coming 7^th .  Kakapo syndicate also did very well; Toby in Room 12 came 2^nd in Year 7 boys also Liam in room 12 came an amazing 4^th  in Year 8 boys.

rubber bands and 1 meter and a half of string and a plastic bag then we had to constuct something that would ether cushin it when it fell or a parasutet and if it hthe ground and crack we lost but if it didn't crack we would win and only one of the 6 groups egg didn't crack.

room 11

In room 11 we have been making our own scooby doo episodes first we did a plan to plan out what the normal scooby doo episodes are like. Then we drafted our episodes with all the speech and punctuation so we could make it into a comic book.
Over the last few days we have been turning them into comic books.:)

Te Papa

On Tuesday the 22nd of March Kakapo Syndicate went on a trip to Te Papa. On the way we stopped off to look at the Treaty of Waitangi. The vault which the Treaty was kept in was kind of cool. The next stop was for lunch it was at Frank Kitts Park the ground was still a bit damp so Liam.C and Ollie.V.L decided to go down the damp slide and got all wet. At last we got to Te Papa the first thing we had to do was to get in to our groups. The first floor we went to was the fourth floor. On that floor we had to find all the anwsers to our activity sheet. The next floor we went to was the second floor and we looked at the Awsome Forces. In Awsome Forces we had to look at all the stuff about earthquakes we even got to go in the earthquake house. The last thing we did at Te Papa was go to the My Space where we had to find out about the Christchurch earthquake. Then we got to have some free time on the wall yay. :)
