Kicking up a storm

Today four teams of year 7/8 Muritai students traveled to Petone Memorial Park to compete in the HRSA football tournament. There was a lot of determined play and skill displayed on the pitches. Muritai was able to field very competitive teams and were able to secure the needed goals to place 1st and 3rd in the girls and 3rd in both boys grades...it must be something in the local water.

What to wear?

It is only a week and a half till our Wearable Arts shows. The outfits coming in are quite amazing, the work and effort by many students is impressive.

It is also choreographing and practicing time. I am enjoying my group ‘Stoneage’ It has been a lot of fun so far, students have been wonderful.

Today Room 21 students began exploring a number of different topics of their choice. The topics were a range of problems that teenagers face like puberty and body image. We then went onto the laptops to begin our research on the topics we had chosen.

Our task was to create a pamphlet/brochure on the topic we were researching that included what it was, the problems you would face and tips that could help solve your problem.

Speeches 2011

So far in room 21 we have had an amazing number of well written speeches with excellent topics and great messages to get across to the yr 7 & 8 year group. With our speeches it is clear just how much time and effort has been put into them. So far a very impressive result of speeches.

There were speeches ranging from alcohol to the fear of public speaking, cigarettes and smoking, the dangers of drink driving to eating healthy as well as the hazards of sunbathing and men and woman's equal rights also things like Burqas.
