Swimming Sports at Memorial Pools

On Friday the 22 March, Rimu House went to Memorial Pools to do a Swimming Sports. The races that you could compete in were 25 freestyle 25 breaststroke 25 backstroke 50 freestyle 25 doggie paddle 25 dolphin dive 25 underwater swim. There was one more event that your teacher selected you for, that was the class relay. Miss Mckenzie did the placings and Mr Mossip did the starting, Miss Campbell did the calling out of the events and Miss Mills just helped with everything. The events I competed in were 25 breaststroke, 25 backstroke and the class relay which was 25 freestyle. The mighty room 42 won, which that is the class I am in. My highlight for the day was doing the class relay  and getting 2nd in breaststroke, it was so much fun.

First Month at T.I.S 2013

In my first month at Tauranga Intermediate School 2013 I have Miss Campbell as my teacher in room 42. We have done a lot of maths like B.E.D.M.A.S (Brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) square roots, order of operations and much more. So far this year I have trialled for the Tauranga Intermediate School production called "A Triumphant Tale." I tried out for dancing but I am not sure if I got in or not, hopefully though. I have also tried out for hockey. There is an A team a B team and a C team, I was in the c team last year but I will hopefully be in the B team this year.  I have more hockey trials after school today, this is going to be the third trial. At the moment I play tennis on a Monday morning from 7:30 till 8:30 am. I have met lots of new people from different houses and some year 7 from Rimu house. Through out this year my goal is to get my Honors Badge and maybe a bar.
