Netball

We had netball trials on Friday the 23rd of March. I didn't think I did very well but I got into the TIS All Stars which is the A team for Ngati toa. We have our first training tomorrow after school and  I got my netball uniform yesterday. I am excited to get back into playing netball.

Porirua Grand Traverse

On Sunday the 1st of April it was the Porirua grand traverse. There were about 16 of us from Tawa Intermediate competing. It was a blast but lets just say you would not have wanted to be on a timetable because it did run a bit late. First there was the waka part of the race which wasn't timed but was still fun sadly I was in the last waka wave so I was quite late starting but it all payed of because I came 10th and only missed coming 9th by one second!

Juicy Writing

4/4/12 Juicy writing
I very much dislike my sister Taylor because she is annoying and she is a pain. She gets
us banned from the computer because she does bad things to it. Also she is
extremely annoying because she always has to copy me in what I get and she always follows me
pretty much everywhere I go. Lastly she is a pest when she screams at me and hits me and when she tries to claim my stuff as hers all the time. Thats my sister for you.

Mathletics

In room 5 we have a free 2 week trial for mathletics and we are using it in class maths rotations. Mathletics is a educational maths website where you can participate in maths games and activites. We are encouraged to buy a 1 year membership so we can use it all year round at home and at school. On mathletics you have your own character who you can customise and buy backgrounds and hats and things like that for, you can buy these things with the credits you win for doing well in the maths activities. Hopefully we can get most of the class on this!

K.O. pre group games

On Monday 26th March room 2 played room 15 in the school K.O competition. Room 15 played well and got the win they needed to progress further in the tournement. In the other pre group game room 6 played room 10 and it was a spectacular display of skills and stratigies and it was a very close game and room 6 had a huge number of supporters but sadly they lost to a lot of peoples disapointment but room 10 did play very stratigicly and showed a lot of skills. Well done Room 10!

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!
