Japanese Exchange and mufti day

Kia Ora Koutou. Its Me again Fleur. At Tawa Intermediate We are doing a Japanese Exchange. There are students throughout the school that are providing home stays at their homes. They need to include at least 1 New Zealand Experience for them. Those students today got to go to STAGLANDS as a Thank You for having them. They obviously went with their Japanese Students. On Friday the 25th of march 2011 we had a mufti day to bring in money for the disastrous Japanese Earthquake, so that it could be sent back with the Japanese Students.

New Learning Intention

Hello followers We Are happy to say we have finally a new learning intention! :).

Using our blog 2

Ok, so we are starting to put details about what we have been up to on our blog, thank you to Bailey and Fleur for taking charge of this :)

Now I would like you to think about the layout of our blog.

1. I have changed the goldfinch picture to a huia - should we leave the huia there or put a class photo or even something else?
2. Is there anything we should change about the layout? Do you want/like the counters showing who has visited?
3. Yr 8's last year we put a quote up every couple of weeks. Shall we keep this part or change it for something else?

Please reply to these questions by adding a comment with your name :)

Learning statements

In Room 4 we have been discussing about what our learning statement would be for 2011

here are some of our ideas

· Learning is a door, the more you learn…..
· Learning is like a swing you have your ups and downs but you’ll be fine.
· Learning is like surfing because it’s hard at the start but when you get better it’s worth it.
· The way to expand
· A key to life it unlocks any doors
· Like petrol for your car
· Your playground so have fun.
· Like a never ending ladder, it just keeps on going
· A shooting star
· Like a circle it never stops
· Like space it never ends
· Like a chest, you have to open it
· Like driving a car you go faster and faster but you need to slow down to turn corners
· Like Edward, it never stops talking
· Like a never ending water bottle, it just keeps giving you stuff
· Like fuel for your mind
· Like a board game going up ladders and down snakes.
