Room 6 & 15 Big Day Out

On the 25 of November 2013 Room 6 And Room 15 left to go to Kaiteriteri. Room 6 piled on the bus and room 15 got transport from parents. We had a stop to make at Mapua school before we could go to Kaiteriteri. We stop at Mapua to have a couple of relay races. Room 15 won the first won and Mapua School won the second one. After we had said good bye we got on our way and headed to Kaiteriteri. Once we got there the teachers told us our safety needs and we did different things. 

Firstly Mia, Maddie and I went on the flying fox, after a few go’s we played mini golf.Then we put our togs on and waited for a turn on the biscuit. Mia and I were first while Maddie was in the boat, the driver did a tight turn and fliped us both off. then Maddie had a go, it was so funny to watch!

Then it was time for lunch, mmmm nothing beats a buttered piece of bread with a sausage in the middle top with sauce. It was so hot, the teaches had brought along some moosies and juices. I called it dessert, After lunch everyone was back in the water.

Time flew and soon enough we had to pack up and leave to come back to school. Kaiteriteri was the best day out I have ever had in my school life, and it was also the best day of this year so far.

The haunted house!

Three houses down from us is a creepy old abandoned hotel. I say its haunted, but no one believes me, including mum. Yesterday she told me not to go anywhere near the hotel.

Today is halloween, so we went to the library and asked to use the computers. We searched up the address for the creepy hotel and guess what it came up with! "Kid has been murdered, no weapon or blood found at the crime scene, although she had bruises all over her. The owner of the place said its happened before. Some witnesses said "There was an unusual sound coming from the girls hotel room, so I went to check on her, as soon as I opened the door something flew straight at me. I have no idea what is was, but then I saw her lying there, face into the floor. I rolled her over and soon realized what had happened!" Research still continues.

After that we ran straight to the hotel and had a look around. Horrible mistake! As soon as I walked into the girls old hotel room where she died, the door slammed shut behind me... I was terrified. There was a flash of light and then I saw it, the mystery was solved, but for some reason I had a feeling I wasn't going to make it out alive. 

The end.. or is it?

All Blacks coming to BIS

On the 26th of October, two of the All Blacks came to Broadgreen Intermediate. Beauden Barrett and Wyatt Crockett came in to our hall and talked about their experiences and answered questions that the boys had. They stayed for lots of photos and autographs for the people lucky enough to see them :)

Room 6's debate

This term Room 6 is doing argument and persuasive writing. The class has got into debate teams and are to write a debate, arguing the point we got.

Everyone picked out an argument, affirmative or negative and 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Nobody got to choose what they got, it was all picked out of the hat and we will all debate together as a class :)

Room 6 "Lean with us"

This year is the 2013 America's cup. Mr T is very passionate about it and likes to watch the live races during class. New Zealand has been very successful and has won many of their races.

Mr T has got everyone in the class interested in the America's cup :)

Room 6 Expressive Writing

Who lives here?

Well, some people say its a witch, with her 10 cats. Others would say, its an immortal old hag, but I believe its just a nice old lady, who's going a bit off her nut. She lives with her 3 cats. She never really comes outside, you often see her walk past one of her windows or a dim light inside. Her house needs some gardening, and a bit of repairs, but other than that it looks like a great house to explore. I've seen her 3 cats around, they always have this kind of creepy look in their eyes and they always hiss and snarl at people.

Everyone makes stories up about her, like she turns into a ware wolf at night and you can hear her howling, or she killed her husband by sucking his blood, but I don't believe any of those, because I know that they aren't true. To me she dosen't look like a witch, or a immortal old hag, she just looks like a lonely old widdow. Who needs company, but I think I'll leave up to someone else because right now I have to go find someone to suck some blood for my dinner.

Winter Tournament Rugby

On Thursday the 22nd of August, 22 of the boys of Broadgreen went up to Green Meadows to participate in the intermediate school rugby Winter Tournament. We played plenty of games winning them all. It had finally come down to the finals between BIS and NIS. We were all really pumped to play in the finals but unfortunately we lost 19-7. We were really disappointed when the hooter went but we had another thing to think about, it was the sevens. One of the sevens teams won all there games and won the final 45-5 and the other team didn't do so good coming 7th over all.

Winter Tournament Hockey

On Thursday and Friday all the schools of Tasman competed in the Winter Tournament, i played hockey. I was captain of the Broadgreen A team, I really enjoyed it. On the first day we won all of our games apart from when we played Waimea. On the second day we won all our games and got into the final. In the finals we got a thumping leaving Waimea to win the hockey. But still i really enjoyed being captain of my hockey team.

Winter Tournament

On the 16th and 17th of August the annual Winter Tournament happened. This year B.I.S was hosting it. Schools all over the top of the south competed in the winter tournament. The sports in the winter tournament included rugby, basketball, table tennis, hockey, netball, badminton, soccer and volleyball. B.I.S did very well in the winter tournament.The boys basketball team got second, the girls basketball team got first, the rugby team got first in 15 aside and first in seven aside and B.I.S also got lots more good placings.

The boys rugby teams were lucky to get some games because it was originally going to be canceled because of wet conditions but Mr.T did some quick thinking and the tournament started again.The kids that didn’t get into the Winter Tournament played games and did tech rotations all day. 

Modules - Knitting

In Knitting as a module half of our class did it because Billy did it last term. He said to us that you didn’t have to do any learning intentions or writing so most of the boys and a couple of girls from our class decided to sign up for knitting.

Tech Classes - Hard Materials

Last term in tech I did hard materials with Mr. Swain. He taught us how to sand, use the big drill,poker work burner,a power drill and lots of other tools.He also taught us how to make lots of stuff like, chopping boards, boxes, kitchen thingees and lots of other handy things.Near the end of the term he gave us free time to make anything we wanted unless it wasn’t a weapon. Kameran and I made a windkart but other people made tanks and trucks and lots of other things. Mr. Swain wouldn’t let you pass until it was smooth and had no pencil marks. So that's hard materials for you.


By Billy

What I did for tech was wood work. I enjoyed my last time at wood work very much. The wooden spoon we made was very useful for my mum in the kitchen. I enjoyed making the pull along toy duck the most though. Wood work is great for making gifts for your whole family. Mr Swain is a great, funny and cool teacher. I will miss him and wood work at BIS very much.

Responsibility - Term 2 Virtue Focus

Responsibility is when you can manage yourself, time and your actions. To be responsible you have to have good manners and a good attitude and be on time. You have to get all your work that has been assigned done and handed in on time. Being responsible is taking care of your thing, peers and yourself. 

The Climbing Wall, last day of school, Term 1

Today room 6 went rock climbing for the first time this year. We all got turns at climbing and being belay 1 and belay 2. First Mr J showed us how to belay and some safety tips. It would be dangerous if we didn’t know how to b-lay because if we didn’t we could injure the climber. Some of us got lifted off the ground, that’s why it’s important to have a belay 2.  We didn’t go up to the top because today we just learnt how to belay because that’s the most important thing about rock climbing. There are different stages of the climbing wall, it goes from easy to hard. Next time we all want to be able to at least do a harder one. Next time we’re focusing on trying to get as high as possible and Mr J is still going to come and help us but that’s the last time he will help us. We had loads of fun! :)

Bridge Valley Team Building Day, March 2012

On Monday 19th March, Room 6 went to Bridge Valley for the day. We all got put in cars. It didn’t take that long. We had a little look around when we got there. Cliff and Ronnie got us all together and told us what activities we were doing, which were high ropes, raft challenge and team rescue. Afterwards he put us into three teams. Group one, group two and group three. I was in group two. Group one did high ropes first then to team rescue then raft challenge. The other two groups did what group one wasn’t doing and rotated throughout the day. To be able to do the raft challenge you had to have really good team work and building skills, which my team didn’t really have for this certain one.
