Congratulations to Chance

When the teacher said "Chance up for 1st place,"  I was so happy that I came first in the School cross-country boys' race.  I was really exhausted after we finished, my legs were so tired and I felt like I was going to faint.

Inter-school Netball Competition 2015

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.

This is their interpretation of the poem.

Tamaki College Orientation Day

                                            

A DAY OF FUN AT TAMAKI COLLEGE . 

WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU FIND A PLACE THAT'S AWESOME?                                          

When we arrived at Tamaki College, excitement was on our faces. When we arrived in the hall we received our name tags. Not long after that we heard, “Welcome to Tamaki College!” We turned to the front and a lady introduced herself. “I am Kathryn Moore, one of the Deputy Principals.”

Afterwards she told us to look at our coded name tags to see what groups we were in.

Later on we were all looking forward to all the sorts of subjects there: English, Art, Food tech, Social Studies, Science, Maths, Music and P.E.

For interval, Tamaki College students prepared us with tasty snacks like juice, and yogurt. For lunch we had one sandwich, an apple, a bottle of water and other yummy snacks.

After we ate our lunches we had time to talk about what we did and also take photos on our netbooks. Later on after our conversations we had to listen to Kathryn because she wanted to tell the leaders at the end of the day to present a student in their group with either a Chrome Book Bag or a Wireless Printer.

Our school was really lucky because two year eight students received a printer and two students received a bag. Our school was really happy that some of our students received prizes. At the end two students from Pt England each presented a speech thanking the Tamaki College teachers and students for having us there.
