‘TECH ARTS’ IN ACTION -ROOM 1

The students of Room 1 always enjoy their time in Tech Arts.  They virtually sprint to the Tech Block to see their favourite teachers Koka Y and Mr Hanlen.  Hands-on, practical activities that allow the students to be creative and to learn life long skills.  The Year 7’s are currently doing Fabric Tech.  The Year 8’s are doing Wood Tech.  Below are a few pics of future Fashion Designers and Architects.

POLL 1: SHOULD MATARIKI BE A PUBLIC HOLIDAY?

What would be the best news to receive right now

That’s easy, if my school Kawerau Intermediate stays open.  That would be the most fantastic news.  This process has been a lengthy one and is grating on everyone’s nerves.  Both Staff and students.

However fingers crossed, we should find out at the end of this month or early in July.  There is definitely a sense of anxiety, the not knowing..

So bring on the decision!!

NAU MAI, HAERE MAI

Kia ora everyone!!

Welcome to my Blog!!

I am a teacher at Kawerau Intermediate School. I have composite class of Year 7 & 8 students.  It is Week 8 and we are about to start our Matariki Unit + Flight and we are quite looking forward to the experience.
