Great stuff girls.

Valerie's Term 3 Reflection

This term has been a busy term this year. We have had to do a lot of things. Our open grade girls’ rugby team made it into the finals at Eden Park. Everyone was relieved because this was the first time we have ever made it into the finals. It’s a shame Courtney and I had to stand out of a few games because of our behaviour, but we had faith in the girls and they played some games without us but dedicated them to us. That was a good thing to do. The under 55kg boys made it into the finals as well. Year 8s haven’t had that much house sports that much because of our behaviour issues. But the house sports we have had has been fun ! We are already starting to organise and plan haka-waiata for next term. This is going to be hard but despite being a leader this is a job we have to do as part of our leadership. Next term will be a lot harder because of haka-waiata and other duties but for me term 3 has been a lot of fun. Technology has been interesting this term. Learning how to play the guitar was awesome. We have just finished our netball season as well which was cool. Playing netball every Tuesday was amazing because I love to play netball. A lot of sports have been happening lately such as touch trials, gutter board and the 1km run. It has been exhausting. Term 3 is finally over and we now have to wait for term 4!

Year 8 Girls Netball Report!

On the 22^nd of July 2009, 8 teams from our school travelled down to the Morrin Road Netball Courts to compete in the Netball Tournament. There were 4 year 7 teams and 4 year 8 teams that went.

The first team we played against was Howick. That was a challenging game and we lost 10-11.

The next team we challenged was Farmcove. We tried our best to stay in the lead but unfortunately we lost 18-20.

We were all tired but we had another game. This time we versed Baradene. In the beginning we were winning but most of our team players gave up and we drew 8-8.

We had a 10 minute break and then it was time for our next game. It was against Remuera. They were an easy team and we won 17-15.

Wow! That was a very close game

Our last game was against Mission Heights. They were not that hard to beat and in the end we won 11-3.

We had finished playing our games so we went to watch the boys. They played very well. Congratulations to them! We all had a fun but tiring day.

We would like to thank the girls for trying their best and our umpires Rebecca and Mary for coaching us that day.

Swimming Carnival

Aquatics Carnival
On the 27th February 2009 a group of 60 students from Tamaki Intermediate School took part in the Aquatics Carnival at the Panmure Lagoon Centre. We had pulsating races. “Ready, Set, GO! “Yelled Mrs Curran. Then off we went. The boys raced first. It was a hard race but they managed to get to the end. It was finally the girls’ turn. We raced between each other and it was really challenging. We had raced in freestyle, backstroke and breastroke. Finally that was over. At the end we got to do swimming relays. The boys’ joined in. We had to swim with a ball to the end of the pool, and then pass the ball to the next person. It was really fun. We really wanted to stay longer but the time was up and we had to get going. It was a fun day. We all can’t wait until the next Aquatics Carnival.
