Room 11 - Learning is fun with Miss Parker!

Term 1 Reflection by Feleti

In term one, in Statistics I learnt how to graph my findings and
interpret them. In Numeracy I learnt how to make tidy numbers when solving an equation. We also learnt smart strategies in addi
tion and subtraction. In art I learnt that lines are art too. I also learnt about how to write a letter and a recount.
At Swimarama, we learnt a lot of things about swimming techniques. We learnt all about what to do if there is a rip. We enjoyed the swimming sessions which ended in a carnival at the end which was a lot of fun. In Social Studies we learnt about the Treaty of Waitangi and the importance of water in our lives.

Term 1 Reflection by Lana

On the first day of school I felt nervous because I thought the teachers will look and act mean, but I was wrong, they are kind and sweet.
This term I have learnt to improve my number knowledge in addition, subtraction, multiplication division. The other interesting thing I learnt to do is answer questions about a newspaper article which was about the Oscar winning movie “Slumdog Millionaire”
This term we learnt to follow school rules and routines. We learnt to use our manners and to follow given instructions.

Term 1 Reflection by Pasepa

On the first day at school I was excited but at the same time I was nervous. When I got up in the morning I was wondering what class I was going to be in. Soon my fears fled away as I saw Miss Parker who looked kind and caring. From the time I came to this school I learnt a lot of things.
The first thing I learnt about this school is that they want us kids to be fit and healthy. I learnt a lot in maths. Spelling is not my favourite subject because I am not good at spelling but we are tested every Friday for spelling and basic facts and I learn my spelling words during the week.
The other things I have learnt at this school is to put my hands behind my back when walking in line, respect myself and others.

Tamaki Intermediate Police Visit

The police 011324487640290:
came and visited each class at Tamaki Intermediate. Below is a recount by a year 7 student in room 11.

On Thursday 19th March 2009 the police came to talk to Room 11 about truancy, which is wagging, and correct behaviour. The policemen’s names were Andy and Mr.T. They said that we must obey our parents, be respectful to them and use our manners. Andy said, “Bad people will put down others, tag and bully them. They will also shop lift and make trouble. If they make put downs we need to just walk away or tell a friend or an adult”.

A lot of kids that cause trouble and bully others are not good at reading and writing, so they can’t keep up with their schoolwork and so they make trouble for everyone else.

Andy said it was important to read and write. Getting a good education leads to a good job and a lot of money. Policemen have a good job and paid well.
If a student starts to wag school their parents will be taken to court.
