A fantastic Term 1 at Tamaki Intermediate School

At Tamaki Intermediate I’ve had many opportunities to learn, to attend sports coaching at lunch times, and to have fun with new friends I’ve made.

Every Tuesday afternoon the boys from Room 3 had been marching to the art room and the girls to the hard materials workshop for Technology. At hard material technology we have learnt that constructing an object of value could be hard work, dangerous and could take a long time to complete.

This term, swimming was a lot of fun. The lessons have taught me how to swim in many different ways and how to keep myself safe in water. Getting into the crystal clear water and gliding through it felt like I was flying with a flock of birds in the misty air. Knowing that I can swim is a good feeling.

When I joined the softball team, I never thought that the team would bring victory to our school. We did. This was in the Eastern Zone Tournament. To play the Inter Zone Tournament we made the journey to Albany feeling apprehensive. Our nerves got the better of us. We all tried our best but came back saddened.

Learning at Tamaki Intermediate made me realise that this school has exceeded my mother’s, and my own expectations. I now know what this school expects of me and what I expect of the school. I am sure there will be many epic experiences I will be exposed to in the journey of my education at this lovely school.
