A Fun-filled and Exciting Term 2

Term 2 was a fun-filled and fantastic term. It was a term in which we did a lot of learning.
The subject that I enjoyed learning about most was maths, because we did fun activities and learned a lot more about Measurement, Algebra and Number. We learned multiplication, long division, addition, percentages, fractions and much more. My group Kakariki made loopy people with Miss. B. a student teacher who worked in our classroom. Maths this term was really fun and exciting.
In topic study we were learning about “Unity and Diversity”. It was about how we are different but we are all the same despite our differences. To start with the year 7s had a fashion show. Each person had to dress up in his/her own cultural costumes to represent their culture. We loved the catwalk and proudly walked to the stage as different people but we stood there as one united group. During the term we learned about tolerating all races and being kind to different people who live here in New Zealand. We learned that we should live in peace and harmony even though we are all different.
Out on our fields most students practiced every lunch break and at P.E. for various sports tournaments we participated in. We had some very good results in the Eastern Zone and Inter Zone championships in Rugby and Soccer.
Later on in the term, we went to the careers expo at the ASB show grounds at Green Lane. We learned about a lot of careers we could take up later in our lives. At school we researched for information about careers that we wanted to take up. We processed our information and then prepared our displays for our very own school Careers Expo. This was a fantastic experience.
Learning about Matariki with Mrs. Bailey was always fun. Performing our class action song with long sticks was a proud moment for Room 12. This term was an extremely busy term in which a lot of learning went on.
We are all looking forward to a good break after 11 long weeks of Term 2.
