Miss Morris

This past four weeks we have had a student teacher in our class, she has been a really great help and will definitely be a great teacher in the future.

Miss Morris was in her 3rd year at teachers college, which was her last. She was in our class for what sounded like a long time but really she made everything so fun and the time just flew by.

She was really great at helping us with our science fair projects and did heaps and heaps of experiments with us in the afternoon.

We wish you good luck Miss Morris for the future and we hope you have a great time teaching!

Current Events


This afternoon we went on a website called NIE online and completed a current affairs quiz which had all the recent news that had been on the news lately, every Friday we will be completing this quiz. I got 100% and I was really pleased with that. To get these questions right every week we have been asked to watch Prime at 5.30, TV 1 at 6.00 or TV 3 also at 6.00. The URL for this website is, http://www.nieonline.co.nz. Check it out.

AIMS Games




On the 5th of September to the 10th September, there is a big sporting tournament in Tauranga called the AIMS Games it has many different sporting disciplines such as netball, football, hockey, gym sports, swimming, cross - country, badminton, golf, tennis, rugby, basketball, multi sport, squash and water polo, for both girls and boys but our school Pukekohe Intermediate doesn't include all the sports offered but most of the sports included are and trialled so all students get a fair chance of going to aims, yet most of the time to trial you have to play that sport outside of school and be in quite a high grade. Like netball for instance they wanted all the girls trialling to be at least higher than D grade for the Pukekohe Netball Courts.

AIMS is a really big event for our school and there are round 95 students going to Tauranga and there's a teacher that's in charge of each sporting group that will also go to aims with the team as either there coach or manager.

I am part of the AIMS netball team and am really looking forward to it, the competition will be pretty stiff and but I think we have a strong team and have a good opportunity for placing.

Good luck to all the students and teams competing and hopefully we will come away with a few places!
