Week Three Term Three Group Champions

Week Three Term Three Group Champions The Tectonic Monkeys

In a week that saw a lot of success at Taradale Intermediate and in Room 8 there was also a fair share of upsets. With Hawkes Bay creating history with their biggest win ever against Auckland over the weekend Room 8 was about to have some history made.

Not since week six of term two has an all boy group won the shield in Room 8 and with the Tectonic Monkeys taking an upset lead at the start of the week three I did not think anything of it at that point in time.

Slowly as the week unfolded The Tectonic Monkeys stayed on the top of the group standings by always, no more then one or two hundred points, being on top. As friday afternoon came about they were in the lead by 400 points and an all boy group was about to upset the dominance of the girl groups in Room 8.

The week three champions for term three are The Tectonic Monkeys.

No lets see if you can hold onto that shield boys!

Kia Kaha Plays

Room 8 Performing Some Plays to do with Kia Kaha

In week three, Room 8 where given some time as a part of their literacy taskboard to do a follow up activity on the stories that they had been reading. This was done in the form of a play.

Each group were told to write the scripts, make sure that every group member had something to do and say that could show an example of bullying and how to do with that scenario or situation.

Some great humour was shown in these plays which is actually quite a good strategy when dealing with bullying if you have to try and defuse the situation.

A great effort by all groups.
Well Done Room 8!

Super Six

2009 Super Six Soccer Champions, "Taradale Intermediate."

In week three Taradale Intermediate sent their girls and boys soccer teams to Marewa Park to participate in the 2009 Super Six Soccer Tournament. It was a very cold day and Mr. Burns and Mr. and Mrs. Shakeshaft had to try and keep warm in the cold conditions.

The day started out slow for the boys with two draws in their first two games but then won the next three. The girls team hit the ground running win their first four games and drawing the last one.

Both the boys and girls teams won their divisions with the girls being the most successful team on the day with four wins and one draw. The boys team ended the day with three wins and two draws and had scored the most goals out of any team to have the best for and against record for the tournament.

A very proud day for Mr. Burns and Mr. and Mrs. Shakeshaft. A great success for Taradale Intermediate being able to bring back the Super Six Shield back to school for the first time in 2009.

Fxataow dominated this week and look to be set for a good term with a few wins coming their way from what has been seen this week.

Well Done Fxataow!

Y.M.C.A

Mohaka Dancing to Y.M.C.A

In the first Mohaka Assembly of term three Room 8 was asked to help out with the music. Room 8 thought that it would be a good idea to have a song with some actios that were easy to follow for a song that Mohaka would also know.

So for a laugh we thought that we would do the Y.M.C.A song and come up with some actions for Mohaka to dance to. After a little bit of hesitation and some practice at lunch time some girls came up with some basic actions to teach Mohaka.

That is not were it ends though. Mr. Burns decided that it would be a good idea to join in and there is a funny video in room 8 now of Mr. Burns dancing to this! lol.

A lot of fun was had doing the dancing of the Y.M.C.A.

Matheletics

A member of Room 8 at the Taradale Intermediate Matheletics

During week two of term three at Taradale Intermediate the school matheletics took place. We had a memeber of Room 8 participate in this which was good to see. The evening had the teams that would be representing Taradale Intermediate at the up coming Hawkes Bay Matheletics Competition vs some parent teams.

The age old question of are you smarter then a 10, 11 or 12 year old was about to be answered. The funny thing is that the students had the best overall team but in the sense of parents vs students the parents won the overall title.

A great night had by all!

Italian Style Lunch

Room 8 and their Italian style lunch on the last day of Term Two

To tie in with Room 8 doing Italian as their language over the course of term two they decided to have an Italian themed lunch. There was a wide variety of food from pasta, desserts, lasagne and of course pizza.

It was good to see the students respond well to having such a lunch in Room 8 and we will definetly be having another lunch at the end of term three.
