Hello! And welcome to a new school year!
We have library on Tuesdays, a lot of us are milk monitors, and we've even had a visit from the public health nurse about vaccinations for the year 7's and the year 8 girls.
Today we found this really cool website in class in which the Auckland Public Library helps you with your homework! How cool is that!?
Tonight's task is to go onto the website and find out about the author of the week. Here is the link here: http://www.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/EN/Teens/Pages/default.aspx
Our theme for this year is communities, that's why we are learning about local leaders in Enviro, Parliament in Social Studies (which also leads up to our Wellington trip in week 6) and Geography in Music and Maori... Which doesn't make a lot of sense but anyway...
We hope to have another fabulous year in the intermediate!!

The Ned Show and Cross Country
The Ned Show The Ned Show visited our school this year. Students sat through an eventful lecture about persistence and doing your best, while yo-yo tricks were performed. Afterwards, students crowded into the hall to buy their own Ned yo-yo, and could be seen at school practising tricks.
Cross Country
This year's cross country was a fun-filled event, immediately followed by a sausage sizzle. The year seven and eights have been training for cross country this term. This consists of running around our school 3-5 times, and we will continue to do so for the rest of the year due to the Fun Run. The intermediate teachers are greatly enjoying this and see this as a great opportunity to become fit, while the year seven and eight students have other ideas.

Ayr Street Reserve
In Room24 we studied the Ayr street reserve. Thankfully, it was extremely easy for me because i just happen to live on Ayr St, so i didnt have to go very far for the answer (Not very far being the kitchen in my house where my mum was).
Our job was to interview somone on what the water was like in the reserve in the 1960's. Again it was easy for me because both my mum and my grandmother live on Ayr street in that time. this is how it went:
Me: What was the water like in the 60's?
Mum: Pretty clean, 9/10.
Me: Was the water drinkable back then?
Mum: Yes
Me: Would you swim in it?
Mum: I didnt, but it would be clean enough to swim in.
Me: How would you compare the cleanness (Yes that is a word) in the 60's to now?
Mum Now it is quite pllouted, probably 4/10... i wouldnt swim in it or drink it.
Me: Was there a vast range of wild life around the reserve? e.g plants, insects?
Mum: In the 60's yes, but now, not so much.

5 paragraph Essay on an Animal
Speeding
towards a helpless antelope, the cheetah pounces, a pounce to kill. The cheetah
is very unique compared to its fellow big cats. Cheetahs are my favourite
animal and always will be. Cheetahs are an impressive animal because of the
speed that they can travel at, how they only live in one gigantic habitat, and
also the wide variety of animals that they hunt for food.
First off,
cheetahs are well known for their speed. They can run up to one hundred and
thirteen kilometres per hour, but they can only hold that speed for two to
three minutes. Now that is impressive. If you were to drive alongside a cheetah
at motorway speed it could keep up for a bit. That’s pretty fast! Cheetahs can
run so fast, it’s crazy!
The
cheetah’s habitat is centred around the middle of South Africa. It is the only
place in the world that cheetahs live in. They are surrounded by lions,
antelopes, giraffes and even a few Meer cats. All of whom live in the
grasslands of central South Africa. It’s amazing how cheetahs only live in on
habitat, The grasslands of south Africa.
The
cheetah’s food supply is quite scarce; therefore they have a wide variety of
food on their diet, though thy still prefer because antelopes are fast and
cheetahs like a challenging chase. Unlike most big cats the cheetah hunts
during the day. They have black lines leading from their eyes down to their
jaw. This is said to help them see prey three or four kilometres away. The
large amount of food on their diet helps them survive with the low mount of
prey nearby to hunt.
So
basically, to sum it up cheetahs are pretty cool. With the speed they travel
at, the distance they can see, heir one amazing habitat, and the amount of
different food they hunt, they are the ultimate animal. Cheetahs are epic, and
hopefully you think that to.

Today the year 7&8 boys went to the tackle rugby tournament so the class only had 18 people, Yay! (mainly girls too which made Ms Barr's job wayyy easier). We went to the library and read in silence for an hour then we went for maths. Mr J is away on Jury Duty so we had Mrs Kumpala instead. We were doing symmetry shapes and moving on to symmetrical patterns and drawings. Also the boys had lost a soccer ball before lunch so Yoobin and I spent our afternoon looking for the ball that the boys lost - We didn't have much success unfortunately. So it ended up some of them confessing to Ms Loveday and Mrs Franklin - Smith what happened to it. On Friday we are raising money by wearing muffti for Denzal's baseball championship thing, so hopefully that will go well :)
