TECHNOLOGY (part 1)

 

Today I was lucky enough to get the time to visit students in their Tech classes.   The Tech classes we have here in Yr8 are Music, Art, Hard Tech, Food Tech, Dance & Drama, Science, and ICT.

This is the second session of their new Tech rotation, and they are already doing some pretty fun and interesting things, so I will definitely be visiting them next term to see what they have learnt.  

Here is some video footage of what they have done so far: Can you guess what song they are playing?

 

Waterpolo

 
Every Tuesday for the last term the Otumoetai Intermediate B Waterpolo team have played against all the other B grade teams around Tauranga.  We came out of the first round unbeaten.  And the next week it was time for us to play Te Puke.  It was a very close game, but we came out with a win 4-3.  This meant that we had won the 2012 Term 1 B grade trophy!!

At Otumoetai Intermediate,  colours are awarded to acknowledge students for different achievements.  They are badges that students can stitch onto their jerseys, similar to a certificate... but better! :)
