On Thursday 18th August 2011, Tamaki Intermediate’s boys and girls went to Morrin Road to play Netball. For the girls we had to wear short skirts and dark blue T- shirts with our school logo on it. We played against five schools who were to participate in the game.
First we had to make sure that we put on our sports shoes. We had to then do some warm ups and make sure that we were prepared for our first game against St. Heliers. Our first game started at 9:55 a.m. on a very cold day.
When the alarm went on to say that we had to start our game, we were fully prepared and had a lot of energy. Our games took about half an hour and our break for half time was just for 5 minutes. We won against St. Heliers 6 goals to 1. We were all jumping up and down with excitement.
Our next game was against Stanhope who had some good players, and we won our 2nd game. Our coach Miss. Valoa was a really good coach, because Stanhope’s players were really tall and huge. Miss Valoa told us that they had the height but we had the speed and we weren’t nervous any more.
Next up we had to play against Churchill Park School. They were little but had very good communication amongst themselves. We won this game we were going to play in the semi-finals.
To prepare ourselves for the semi-finals some of us were playing in half court and practiced our our steps, passing skills, pivot skills and shooting skills. We played against Glendowie and won the match.
Then we had to played the final match against Baradene. We lost to Baradene. As we walked off the court our heads were still held high as we were proud of ourselves.
At the end of this busy day, we had to go to sit down on court 4 for the prize giving. The Year 7 girls were placed 2nd. We were tired and exhausted from the games that we participated in. Even though we lost one game we were proud that we represented our school well and earned the 2nd placing.

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.
