Room 14's first blogMonday 7th March 2011Our Class Reps this year are Chloe & Ethan. They are both sensible but really funny Class Reps who aren't bossy.
Next week is camp yay! We will be going to the farm on Tuesday and participating in things like motorbike riding, horse riding, animal survival and much more. It will be a really cool experience for Room 14 and the many other classes which are also going to the farm.
We are still in the running for the 1st spot in lunch-time sports competition Scatterball. We have played and won one game winning by 53 runs against a Rimu class. Last year we got to the Scatterball Grand Final but didn't win, this year we plan to win it all!

Cricket
Last week the Room 14 year 7's played an awesome game of cricket with Room 15 and unfortunately we lost by quite a bit all we can say was nah it was bad luck. All of Tawa will be playing against Rimu and hopefully win and rid them of their winning streak.
Minibeasts
This term we are studying minibeasts which includes spiders, slugs insects and other smaller animals. We are doing a range of activities from finding their classification and migration habits and much more!
Soccer Practice
Owen Howard from Football Federation came and did coaching clinics with every one from KIS, he was such a great coach. Since we had such a small group, he taught us more than normal, like how to pass the ball, kick it properly and even stop the ball. I think he should come back next year and do it again.
