Poukai's assembly

On Wednesday 14th of March it was Poukai's turn to host assembly, they did a great job and it was very exciting.
This is what Room 5 thought of the assembly:

Extremely cheesy, OTT (over the top), funny, good, interesting, a bit stupid, silly, the faires were funny because one of them was a boy, fun, good to watch, nicely presented, not very well acted, different to other assemblies, exciting, extremely pink, to much pink, entertaining, a bit dumb, lively, weird, witty, alright, tacky, the videos were cool.

Nucombeball - Room 12 vs Tawa Int staff!

On Friday the 16 of March room 12 played the Tawa Int staff in a higly anticipated game of nucombeball.
The support was equal for both teams and the supporters were yelling there heads off for there teams.
There were some brilliant throws and some spectacular catches made in the game but in the end the champions room 12 defeated the Tawa Int staff and I think they deserved it.

Ugly Shakespeare

Ugly Shakespeare came to Tawa Int on the 20th of March (or yesterday) and I'm going to tell you about it!
The Ugly Shakespeare Company is a group of three awesome actors who help create a different image of shakespeare for adults and children through the art of plays. They are sponsered by the university of Waikato and perform a variety of Shakespeare plays at schools around New Zealand.

They performed "Hamlet" for us and it was funny and enjoyable. We hope they come back soon!

Athletics was yesterday on the 6th of March, Everyone was trying to get in something and have fun somethings were harder than others for people there were tall and short people the day was tiring

Athletics Day

Yesterday was the athletics day and I think everyone did a great job at every one of the sports! Yesterday was really fun because lots of the sports included running and I like running. Someone my class threw a discus really far and that would be Tyreek! There is a big chance that he will go to the inter intermediate athletics. I saw all the year seven boys from my group try their best and if I could go to the inter intermediate athletics I would try as hard as I can ,but only a few of the most sporty people get to go there. For vortex, Christian, one of the year seven boys, got a 3 and a 3 means you got the best score you could get. The thing I was best at is shotput because I got a 2. My favourite though was long jump because at my primary I came 3rd. For sprints it was really hard even to get a 2 because to get it you have to beat 13 seconds in the 75 metres sprint. and you have to beat 15 seconds in the 100 metres sprint. My least favourite is high jump because it's too high for me to jump over.
