Powhiri for Mr Henderson
Yesterday Newlands Intermediate brought us our new principal, Brendon Henderson. We held a formal welcome for him where we exchanged songs and welcomed him to Tawa Intermediate.
What did you think about the powhiri? Did you learn/see anything new? Is it important to have a powhiri? Why or why not?

Setting up for Term 3
I popped into school on Tuesday so sort out the furniture. Heston came with me to see Stephanie. Here are a couple of snaps of him hanging out (very cheekily on the couch) in our classroom. Look how big he is now! Have you spent time with your pets this holiday?
You can also see my husband's arm leaning on Heston, he also came to school with me as his work was closed due to the earthquake. The air conditioning unit had soaked everything! Luckily he is back at work now. Did any of your parents' have to stay at home after the earthquake? How many earthquakes and after shocks have you felt?

TIS Got Talent
Today we have something called TIS Got Talent. It's a talent show that only the most talented get to go to. To get to TIS Got Talent you have to be one of the most talented people in your syndicate. I was a judge at my syndicate's talent show and we had a lot of talented people but we could only let 4 people go through to the whole school one. I'm also going to be a judge for the whole school talent show and I think it will be really hard to find a winner.
French
This term Huia Syndicate has been doing some languages every Thursday before P.E.
The three languages are Korean, Japanese and French.
The language I'm in is French and I'm really enjoying it. In French we learn diffrent things like greetings, family names, foods, colours and numbers, we also learn how to prounce words correctly. One of the big things we have done in French is a presention for a fake family, so I could say that I'm Strawberry Shortcake, T.J Perenara is my husband, Juno is my daughter, Shelton Cooper is my son and Spider Pig is our pet, then I would have to say it in French. I know it sounds hard but once we actually learn a bit of French its easy.
I really would really like to do French in college because one day I would like to go to France and go to resturant and cafe and actully speak French, I think that would be really cool to do with my family so I could speak for them and they could learn from me.
Japanese
Konnichiwa!
This term visitors from Japan, Iyo and Satoru, have been teaching us Japanese. We have learnt numbers, common expressions, and how to write Hiragana. It has been fun learning a different language. Here are some photos of games we played:
Japanese Expressions:
Ohayou gozaimasu: Good morning
Watashi wa ____ desu: My name is ____
Arigatou: Thank you
Douitashimashite: You're welcome
Kawaii: Cute
Sugoi: Great
Kakkoii: Cool
Sayonara!

Darlingheart Bake Sale
A week or so ago we had a bake sale to raise money for a charity called "The Darlingheart Foundation". It was an awesome event that raised money for children in an orphanage in India.
Did you buy anything? What was your favourite baked good?
Do you think we should do another bake sale next term? Or is there another way we could raise money?
