Nutty Professors all the way!

We the students from Room 11 have been total Nutty Professors this term. We have been some kind of secret learners working our way through our Science Projects for the Science Fair. Our school seems like an ordinary school but it is not, it is a very special school in which we are provided with opportunities to take part in all the cool activities planned well by our teachers.

Our topic for this term was “Nutty Professors”. Each one of us conducted Science experiments like scientists. It was very interesting to see and learn about each other’s experiments. We were able to scientifically explain the experiment results. We are happy that we are getting ready to go to Year 8. We are all trying to be excellent in all that we do in our class and in school.

Our goal in life is to be as good as our teacher thinks we are. To make her and ourselves proud, we learn well and do our best. This term we worked hard to do our class work independently, or with a buddy or in group situations. We respect each other and work well together. According to our interests, we take part in various school activities like Choir, Guitar Group, Ukelele, Kapahaka, Bollywood Dance, Media, School Sports and so on.

We all love reading. We are all so lucky that we get lovely Duffy books for free. They are so wonderful to read and sometimes we feel that it is our own life’s story. We are fortunate that we are learning Te Reo Maori from a specialist teacher Mrs. Bailey.

Bradley from our room is our school council representative and he can sense if we are up to some mischief. And so, we are good in class and make each other proud.

Term one’s memories and reflections.

On the first day I was so scared because it is a new school. My mum told me my dad came here when he was my age, my Aunt and Cousin also came to this school. We went to our new classroom. I was put into room 11 and it was so much fun. I made some new friends and saw some old friends. We saw the whole school and the boundaries of the school.

Week 2 is when the whole school went swimming and in the week 4 it was the swimming Carnival for the year 8’s and year 7’s and it is all the good swimmers from the 3 teams ( swimmers who are good, average and beginners). We had to go half way so the mongoose tigers went first. They were so good that when you see them swimming they will be half way by now.

In week 5 the year 8’s formally welcomed the year 7’s. Some of the parents came to see and it was cool. We call this as the school powhiri that is when they welcome you to the school.
We had the SPCA come to the school. They told as about animal cruelty. Our teacher had gone to India to see and take care of her mum. I hope that she gets well soon.
