Cody's medals

Cody now has 5

medals, 3 silvers and 6 bronze medals for spelling.

He is excited and he wants to get more golds than any of the other medals.

Science excites Students

Room 14 and Room 8 have been learning about Science and we've been split into groups of 4 to carry out the experiments.

Dana is writing up her results for making gloop and Olivia is using pulleys to lift weights.

It's interesting and exciting at the same time.

CJ's Spelling Success

Our new boy, CJ, has been learning new spelling words each week - it's not easy and it's not hard, he says.

Last week he learnt to spell 15 words correctly like present, which after he learnt how to spell it, it was easy!

His goal is to learn 20 words this week.

Athletic Champions

Tuesday next week, 10 students from Room 14 are going to Athletics Group Day at Sandspit School.
We are versing all different schools in Waiuku. Our goal is to get to Zone Day for some of the events.
Anna and Jake are in every event that is available. Jake wants to go to Zone Day for at least half of the events, and Anna wants to go to Zone Day for the 800m and long jump.
Good luck Room 14'ers!

The NEW Tom!

Miss Harris commented that Tom's behaviour and attitude has improved a lot since the beginning of the year. Ms Clydesdale says 'Well done' because Tom has worked really hard to improve his behaviour and attitude, and other teachers have noticed the improvement too!

Go Tom!

Potato Power!

Yesterday was Manual at View Road School and we had to plan our own potato dish. Arabella and Kelsey decided on something that they called 'Spudtastic' also known as potato puffs. They got their recipe from Alison Holst's 'Best Potato recipes'. Here's what they did:

We brought in all the ingredients that we needed that Miss Harris didn't already have. Kelsey cut the potatoes, so Arabella could make mashed potatoes. She also diced the ham, grated the cheese, and cut the crusts off the bread and cut the bread into quarters on 3 pieces of bread, then placed the 12 pieces of bread into cup cake cases, while Arabella was making the mashed potatoes.

When the mashed potatoes were done, we mixed the ingredients together with an egg that we had cracked into the bowl, and then we spooned the mixture into the 12 cup cakes cases on top pf the bread.

We put it in the oven and wait 20 mins, and put it on fan bake for 5 minutes to hold the ingredients together.

We took them out and paper scissors rock to see who would choose their 'Spudtastic' first - Arabella won, so she chose first.

Miss Harris asked if she could try one, because they looked really yummy and were delicious!

She said that they were really good, that we worked well together and we kept our area tidy and organised, and cleaned while they were in the oven.

When we got back to school, Miss Harris had already phoned Waiuku Primary School to tell our teachers that we were the best Year 7's in all of Waiuku!

We felt really fantastic, because there are lots of different schools in Waiuku and we were the best! Our teachers were impressed and both Kelsey and Arabellas' mums said that they have to make it for dinner one night.
