Melville Intermediate - Brents Rugby Option Recount

It was week 3 of Term 3 on the 3rd of August and it was the start of new options. I was in Rugby and lots of people were in it. There were about 50 people in it. There were some girls in it. We did the roll and got change into our P.E. gear and then we all went to the field. There was a little problem about the field because it was wet so we used the high school field. We picked the teams and started the game. I was in Mitchell’s team and my position was right wing. We started first and the game start. It was my teams kick off. I was chasing after the ball then I slipped. The grass was so slippery that I slipped on my back. I got back up and saw my team mate got a try. We won the first game and we had to play another team. It was our kick off and they caught the ball and my team mate tackled the person who caught it. We got the ball because of a knock on but then we dropped the ball and lost it. They tapped the ball and my teammate did high tackle. We had to go out and another team had to take over us. After 5 minutes nobody got a try so both teams had to go. We started with the kick and all of us chased after the ball. Someone got the ball and ran so fast he nearly got a try then someone from my team tackled him and we got the ball because the person who was running knocked it on. Then my team mate passed the ball to me and I ran it up to Joey then I got spear tackled and I lost the ball forward. They picked the ball up and passed it to Sam and he got a run away but I ran so fast I just caught up with him. They passed the ball to Vaughn and I tackled him because we can’t get them to get closer to the try line. They passed the ball to Leonard so fast got a try. The option was over and we all went to the changing sheds and then went back to our classes. I liked the option so much because we learnt new thing and I got to tackle people and got to run so fast. Rugby is a really fun sport.

Melville Intermediate - Ryan's Term Two Recount

This term one of our subjects was poetry.  We learnt up to nineteen different types of poetry, and did lots of examples.  We also completed work on procedural writing, both with photos and without photos.  We used procedural writing for our celebrations task as well.  We also entered the KWN competition.  We have been storyboarding this for the last couple of weeks.  My groups chose Ecology as our theme.  We have been researching a chosen celebration each, my one was on Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.   We researched the history and why it happened.  We also completed our work on options and technology.  I was in woodwork for technology for the start of the term and I was in music for technology and options.  We also did Drama with Mrs Bleakin.  We learnt different types of drama and different kinds of games.  One of main subjects was also Matariki.  We chose one planet to research and learnt about the constellations.  My favourite thing of all this term was music options because we got to do anything that we wanted to do and I choose to work on producing songs with garageband.   Ryan is a student of Room Five and wrote this recount about the work that he has completed in term two of 2012.
