Year six Visit to Waikowhai Intermidete

Hi bloggers, today the year 6's went down to Waikowhai Intermidete to see what it is like. When we got to the intermidete we went into the hall, and the princaple Mr King told us about the school. Then we got to walk around the school and visit some classes. We were with Mrs Smith, she is the deputy princaple at Waikowhai Intermidete. Also Hay Park was there. We got split into four groups. We also got to visit the speical classrooms wich were, Food Tech, Music and Dance, Hard court, and art. I also saw some friends from lat year like Kayci, Sifa, and Dorothy. My favrouit place that I wished I went was Food Tech because they got to make chocolate sauce with bananas and vinalla ice cream. In music we used Rythm and Perccusion instruments to make a song. We Also learmt how to make our own music using notes. Mr Peach used family names to help us like, Semibreve was Grandpa and Quaver was the baby. Then it was time to go. When we got back to school we got an enrolment form.

Here is the school logo

Here is some of the instruments we used.

Production

Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show). Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs. The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done!

In the paper circuit making we had to try make a light using and LED battery to make a LED light bulb flash or turn on. After trying that out, we used different materials that have electricity to make a circuit. Some of the materials we used were LED batteries and light bulbs , tinfoil, split pins and paper clips. Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings. The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I ...
