Our super visions were Mrs. Bleakin and Mrs. Patterson. On Friday before last week we were going to the group that we in to talk about what we will do on the Activity Week. There were only two students from room 5 which is our class. I was felt so shamed because none of my friends were in the same activity that I was in. I was still happy because I got participate in an activity and none of my friends were doing an activity. We were already talking about what we will do. On Wednesday we divided in to two groups. The other half of the class went with Mrs. Patterson to the cooking room to make morning tea. The other half was staying with Mrs. Bleakin and Mrs. Simpson the jewelry maker to make some jewelry necklaces. I went with Mrs. Patterson and the other of our group. When we get to then getting to the cooking room, we started to get organized to where we making our food. Mrs. Patterson told us that we making scones, Sweet scones and cheese scones. Elizabeth is my buddy and we work together sometimes. We chose to make cheese scones. After that we have to make muffins it was morning tea so we took the food to the art room which is where we were. After morning tea we weren’t allowed to go outside for interval. You only get out if you want to go to the toilets or get a drink. After interval we swap with the other half of the class and do the same thing, but the other half made lunch. On the last block some make garden tiles and some were doing tee-shirt. On Thursday we all did the same thing. On first block we walk to the bus at the front of the school. Harry the school bus driver drop us off to an ART GALLARY in town. When we get in we saw a pool. It was really cool in there. We saw some different pieces of art. We saw some pictures of the old time also a video. It was a big building and it was beautiful inside, in the gallery I saw a Maori Waka and a real kiwi. It was morning tea so we ate our morning tea. After that we kept on looking but it was another Gallery. We saw some nice dishes, necklaces. We also spot Mrs. Simpson jewelry. On Friday it was the last day of the activity week. We had to bring our own lunch. At 9:45 we went to the bus to get off to Waitakaruru Park.

Melville Intermediate - PrEP 2012 Asinates Recount

On Thursday 25th of October we were preparing for our P.r.E.P day which is happen on Friday 26th of October. We didn’t just start on Thursday but we started to organise for P.r.E.P on the term before this term. We started to get in to our groups and talk about what we are going to sell on the P.r.E.P day. Our group’s name called Sugar Power and our group members are Icis, Asinate, Kayla, and Joseph. On the four weeks before P.r.E.P day we decided to sell these things: sherbet, popcorn, lollie kebabs, raro, raffle, and drink. All the stuff that we sell we decided to sell them all for 5 misms each. The P.r.E.P time was 4:00pm-6:00pm so that mean we have to make every thing organised for the P.r.E.P time. We create our sign for our group. We have to make the popcorn, the sherbet, and we have to make the lollie kebabs. I and Kayla were making the popcorn and the sherbet and Joseph was creating the sign and making the lollie kebabs by himself because Icis wasn’t here. After school we were finished every thing that we have to do. We were wondering what else we have to do so we ask Scary Movie group if they want help and they did need help so we help them setting up their store. When we finished helping them it was time to start setting up and we doing our store outside room 5. Kayla and I were going to the design room to get our table. After that we set up every thing outside room 5. There was already some people walking around outside. Now the P.r.E.P is starting and the people were buying their misms so they can buy stuff from the shops. Our first customer was a Japanese student. After that we got lots of customers and most of the people were buying popcorn and I was the one who was doing the popcorn. It was lots of fun. By, Asinate.

Melville Intermediate - Asinates ESOL Recount

    ESOL

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I have to Esol. Esol mean that if you from another island or maybe your English is not really good you have to do Esol. Our Esol class have four students altogether and sometimes we are not in there so that mean we absent or we forgot to go. When we get there we have to do works. Sometimes we are doing together our work. We also do the same activity. It is very helpful for us because working together is very fun and we will be able to share what we know. We also read together the story that we are doing. Most time we doing our work by our own. It not very fun because we won’t be able to finish together on time so we can have a little game.

Sometimes I think the teacher think that we are doing better and better. She prepares us harder works. She told us that we have to finish it on time. On Friday we are going to the computers. There are lots of works in there that we need to do. Our teacher is walking around in the room so if we need help she might help us. There is sometimes the teacher come and called us. Guess what to we have to do there. We are doing a easy reading test and it’s really fun.
