Room 11 has recently started a new topic in class and that is electricity. At first, most people weren't too keen on that particular topic but as we started getting in to it, we really enjoyed it. Now we love it!! We have been doing a lot of fun things to do with this topic and have learnt a lot! We can't wait to do some more :)
More to come.... :)
Our class have really enjoyed learning about circuits and how to create them. In groups of three we created and built a variety of working circuits. My group particularly enjoyed creating a circuit with a switch so that we could turn on and off an LED.
Next steps in this learning for Room 11 is to find out about alternating and direct current. I believe that we use alternating current every time we switch on a light. We will get back to you on this learning.

RadioShows
Recently, students from Tamatea Intermediate have been pre-recording their own radio show at Radio Kidnappers in Hastings. Teams of 2 or 3 are becoming radio presenters every week and listening to their own pre-recorded shows the next week.
I am one of the students who were chosen to do a show alongside Elijah and Logan. We have made substantial improvements since the first week. We even had a special guest on one week which was very exciting. He was a christian singer/ songwriter from Kenya and his story was very interesting :) We got through the show in a short amount of time and it was our best show yet!
We have to be prepared for what we are going to say beforehand as otherwise we make mistakes and the show doesn't turn out very well. We have to be fast at thinking of replies to say back to the other hosts as well because that makes the show more interesting :)
It's a great experience doing a radio show and I hope to continue :)

Me2 Positive Choices
So Term 2 is now well underway and it's been awesome so far! We are coming to the end of our Me2 Positive Choices programme. Last Tuesday we had our activity day where most of us had a heap of fun. I went tramping up to Sunrise Hut in the Ruahines with the police team. Once we got up to sunrise hut, we had some lunch and found a great viewing spot. We saw a little bit of snow but didn't get very close to it unfortunately.
Other activities included trout fishing, metal, food, biking, golf and scrapbooking. It was a fun-filled day that everyone enjoyed. I can't wait for another experience like that!
