My Dream House!

This is a story that Mrs Bocock told us to write about as it lets our minds run wild and our imaginations run free. 

Now it's time to get your togs on - we're going to the pool. No, not the local but our very own.For more read below...

"I begged my Dad to get the pools (yes, pools with an s)and even though it cost, well let's just say I can't pronounce the number, it's way too long! We have three separate pools altogether. We have a dolphin pool, a swimming Pool and a water park pool with hydro-slides, lazy rivers, inflatables, jets and a button that activates the waves so it's like you're at the beach. Last but not least, there is an underwater

 sea booth where you can swim with all sorts of tropical Fish and Coral that Dad got sent in from Fiji!"

I hope you enjoyed my paragraph on my Dream Pool from my Dream House writing.

Alt Ed

In week 8 of the school term we have our Alt Ed week, to celebrate the school year that has been. There are options in and out of school depending on the price range of the activity! This year My friends and I are doing ''Horsing around'' with Mrs Bocock, which is a three day trek around a farm with our very own horse which is chosen when you first arrive at the farm house. There are also other options like ''Out and About in Vegas'' which is doing activities in Rotorua, ''Christmas Cooking'' which involves having your own group and cooking All sorts and lots more...Cant wait till Alt Ed!!!

Before the prom we practice the dances that we do at the prom, we practice them in the hall as part of our fitness program. There is also an art option for our elective which is prom prep another way to learn the dances. I cant wait til Prom!!!! 

The Happy Things in Life

Life Ed

During the last three to four weeks Bernie, Harrold and the Life Ed caravan have been here teaching us about puberty, drugs, brain development and stress. We said "Bye Bye" to Bernie today as she left with Harrold to the next school. We gave her a nice Giraffe toy for Harrold and a Card with our own little thank you messages as a farewell gift. We were all sad to see her go, But she will come back next year to give us three more lessons. We cant wait!!!

This is Tegan and I in the science lab. We did a rubber egg experiment but that didn't go well. Tegan looks so excited!

Forensics with Constable Neil.

In week 6-7 we had Constable Neil come in to teach us Forensic Science.

There are 3 classes in Kaituna, and each of them had a session with Constable Neil. There was a lecture about Finger printing and D.N.A,we also had a Crime Scene and a Court session.

My favourite part was taking D.N.A and finger prints of items in the crime scene.

My Big Trip!!!

On the 4th of August I left Rotorua to N.Y.C with my Aunty,Grandma and my friend Dallas with her parents.

It was 9.00 at night when we arrived in Newark Airport.We got to our hotel, the Time Hotel,which is right around the corner from Time Square!We went to Time Square alot!

I had the best time of my life in America and it was truley Amazing and the Empire State Building was my favorite part and it was definately worth the 3 hour wait to get up there, and of course SHOPPING!!!dont even get me started with the shopping=)

I will hopefully  be going back!!!

Devon Intermediate

In week 5 Devon Intermediate is coming to Mokoia Intermediate!
We are going to compete in Basketball, Soccer, Rugby and Netball.
I am not going to be competing in any events, because they are not having a Hockey team.

Cross Country

In week 5 we had the cross country.Everyone was running and it was kind of like a swarm of red people because we were running in our P.E gear which is bright red.Whakapoungakau won the cross country but i still think Matawhaura should have won!I was in the top 20 for the cross country farm run and thought it was really fun and that all the practice and trainings had all paid off.We had practiced every single morning rain or shine running,practicing for the run.We still run in the mornings to keep our fitness up and running.

Cross Country

in week 4 or 5 Mokoia school is having a off road run.

its 7 km and we practice every second morning of every second day.

On friday we have a run around the block which is 3 km.
i have a skinned knee though i still beat most people in my learning centre.

I love running the block in the morning even though my legs are still asleep
I cant wait till cross country

When Norm Hewitt came to mokia intermediate I hadnt heard of the name or even seen him before,
