This term for Rich Task the year eights topic was keeping ourselves safe, every class was given a different form of safety e.g. travel safety, and at the end of term we had to do a performance, our class got street safety and we came up with a bunch of great skits that portrayed keeping ourselves safe really well, putting the skits together was really hectic, but in the end we did a wonderful performance and were proud of what we had done

Congratulations to our amazing class lit quiz team consisting of Harper, Rosie, Daniel, Brooke and Katie for winning the balmoral school lit quiz, and getting the entire hunger games trilogy for our class which we are reading at the moment.

The lit quiz was a 40 question quiz with 4 rounds of 10 questions, the theme for the lit quiz was the hunger games and each table was assigned a district, our class got district six which are medicine and at first we were disappointed because we wanted the cool districts, but we ended up having a really cool outfit and a intresting table covered in test tubes, pill bottles, beakers and loads of Tic-tacs

the questions were based on lots of well knowen books such as CHERUB, Harry Potter and of course the hunger games!!!!. Our team was challenged by many of the questions but always managed to find an answer and in the end we got 37 questions right out of 40 only beating room 3 by .5 points to come in a well earned first place.

well done to Harper who has been selected to compete in the Maggi food showdown along with fellow year eight students Dylan, Yusi and Jess. The Maggi food showdown is a competition in which intermediate students compete in, you can use at least two Maggi ingrediants and with these ingrediants you have to make a main meal that can serve two adults and two children, Harper, Dylan, Yusi and Jess are in the regionals and will compete with all the other schools that made it to the upper north island competition later on this term, if they win they will go on to compete in the nationals and will star on the Erin Simpson show!!!.

New Heights

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Term 2 is going to be better than ever as Harper Yusi Dylan and Jess head towards the finals of the maggi kitchen challenge, our school is doing some fantastic fundraising and Stella continues to raise money for cancer.
Room 31's list of successes is already a mile long with 5 out of 8 house captains 1 student leader and some great sporting achievements but our goal for term 2 is to make it longer.
Without a doubt we are easily the BEST class in the school and will continue proving it right the way through the year :-D
