Tomorrow Stella from Room 31 will lose her lovely locks in support of leukaemia and blood cancer. Everyone at Balmoral and her friends and family are very proud of her as this is not an easy thing to do!! Check out the link below for the full article and post a comment:-)
Despite all weather warnings and the postponement of camp by a day, the Year 7 Turanga Whanau persisted and ventured out to Stedfast Camp at Piha for what would be an adventure!!
Although we had some rain we didn't let that get our spirits down and continued on with the activities planned. Post a comment below and share your highlights from Camp 2012:-)
This term 40 students in four groups from Year 7 set off on the adventure of a life time.....To tramp up to the very top of the Pinnacles. Through bush, rivers, hills and stairs, these young warriors toughed it out to make it through. Even the story of Don Brown, "the baddest man in the whole darn town" came to life once more! The students carried all their food and cooked up a meal to keep them going. The Balmoral Habit of Persistence was key to their success. Here are some photos of the group that I tramped up with! Post a comment if you like.... but be careful what you say.....Don Brown could be watching??!!
We are looking at response to image writing starting with the image below.
Today as part of a team building a problem solving activity we made structures out of paper and tape to try to support my ghost figurine. Some were very successful and some weren't:-P
Welcome back to 2012:-)
Holidays are finally here! I would just like to say that this years class was awesome. Each and every one of them contributed to the class in same shape or form. You will all be missed a lot!
This term for rich task we were divided into 5 “companies”, in which we have a specific role in the classroom. The companies were:
· AlphaMedia-the media team
Xerox-the environmental engineers
· Wizbang-the technology team
· Ace Fitness-the health and fitness team
· M.Y.S.T-the logistics team
We were given tasks to complete as a team, and each company employee were appointed titles such as CEO, CFO, HR, and the rest were team members. Even though the team members did not get a title, they still helped out as much as they can and worked well. AlphaMedia had a great time during this term, what do you think?? Please post your thoughts.
