Welcome back to Term Two!

Room Nine starts fresh to a new term.  For writing we are focusing on creation myths. We have read "Sun, moon and water, "Naming the winds" and a few others.  We are going to write our own myths about the Sun, Earth or Moon.

For our languages this term we are going to work on French and Re reo/maori.  What such fun!

This is only the beginning of term two and so the fun and learning has only just began.  I can’t wait for the rest.  Room Nine  has a lot to come such as Footnote dance, a school social, guest speakers and our CIB presentations.

Water water water swim

Swimming is a great sport, especially if you go to Balmoral Intermediate School and have house chants for your house group that you’ve only just learnt.

For example, when you’re in the water racing,  and the water is rushing past you because you're going really fast, and all you can hear is your team cheering you on, its a terrific feeling and this school had a whole day of it!

The houses won points for every swim that was swum and Te Wai, one of the houses, won the most points! Therefore they won swimming sports for 2016!

Well done Te Wai!

Little groups coming together to make one!

Okay so this year is a bit different I guess, I’m an Intermediate student, at a new school and a new year with new people.  So many ‘news’ wait... maybe a bit too many.

But, so far we seem like little groups coming together to make one.  What a fantastic way to start the year!
