What Do Our Intermediate Students Want From 2020?

Hi everyone- Welcome back!
The intermediate students in R1 decided on a few things we want to achieve, do or attempt in the new year.
1. Go on trips so we can visit interesting places that provide us with activities to do.
2. Have a spectacular end of year celebration.
3. Work hard together as a class to complete our tasks to a high standard.

Three Ways To Increase Traffic To Room 11 Blog

I have seen and learnt 3 new ways to increase more views on my blog.

1.  Use things like subheadings, bullets and numbered lists.
2. Promote my blog in my email signature.
3. Have easy to use videos and links to interesting news and items by making the links picture form.

Safety Week-Halloween and Guy Fawkes

With Halloween just finished and Guy Fawkes coming up all the senior classes have been getting refresher lessons on safety.

It's important we make sure we don't put ourselves in harmful situations and look after each other.
Enjoy your week everybody.

Speeches R11

We decided on our own speech topic this week to present to the class in Term 2 (From WK 7-WK10)

We needed to start our speech preparation together as a class/small groups to get ideas and topics sorted. (Learn/Create/Share) We helped each other to find specific information to use in our individual speeches. We are lucky that our chromebooks give us so much access to online information.

Ruapotaka's Soccer teams.

Unfortunately, our interschool football competition has been cancelled due to the crazy weather we have had over the last week. That's a real shame as our Year 7/8 and Year 5/6 teams have trained really hard and we were all looking forward to playing. There's always next year. :)

Well done to all these students who made the teams. I'm sure we would've been very competitive.

Screencasting

Room 11 are all creating their own screencasts and will post them up on their individual blogs. We watched this neat video that was made by Mrs Buchanan in Room 10 and it explains how to do it. We hope ours are as good as this! The screencastify programme is easy to use. Find it HERE
