__Bollywood Dance Group __

__Bollywood Group: TOP ROW: __ Iszac, Sanjeev, Sinal, Milaan, Kunal(Boys Leader), Mrs Sunker(Teacher) __BOTTOM ROW: __ Darshiya, Jhaanvi, Rochelle, Vasalini, Makayla   The BBI Bollywood dance group was working hard for the Desi Intermediate Dance Off competition, which was being held on the 16th October 2010 in the Dorothy Winstone Centre. The group was practicing hard for the day but as the day was coming closer and closer the 5 boys and the 5 girls, Kunal, Sinal, Iszac, Sanjeev, Milaan, Rochelle, Dharshia, Vasalini, Jhaanvi and Makayla. They all started to practice harder and harder. Before the day came they did some performances in the school to get comments and improve. The day came and everyone was ready to go but somewhere inside them was the nervousness which started to come up and they started to get nervous. They tried to take that nervousness out by cracking jokes and doing more practices underneath the stage, that’s where they were just before their performance. As the announcers announced the name “Bucklands Beach Intermedite” the group slowly started to climb the steep steps. They got on the stage, the crowd cheering and they positioned themselves as they were meant to, and heads down and here they started. The crowd went wild as they performed and when they finished everyone was going crazy for some more of their dance but unfortunately that was it. “It was a great fun there on the stage and felt good when we got the 3rd place trophy.” quoted by Iszac, one of team member from the Bollywood group. When it came to the prize giving time the BBI group was praying for the first prize as they said “The Third Prize Goes to the Bucklands Beach Intermediate” BBI group was shouting loud as they went down to the stage for their award. They got the award and a $250 cheque for the school. That was a great devotion from Mrs Sunker as she devoted her lunch time, morning tea time and even her home time. “The Bollywood dance group was awesome and they performed well and came 3rd place from all the other schools, and I feel proud on them.” Mrs Sunker said happily. She felt proud on the group and gave them all a treat.”Feeling good and happy after getting the 3rd prize.” quoted by Sanjeev.

BBI Leo's Sausage Sizzle

It was 30th of October when BBI’S Leo Community group number 2 was having a sausage sizzle in front of The Good Guys at Botany. BBI were selling drinks and sausages with or without onions. They had parents and teachers helping the student with both selling and cooking. They also had lots of students and teachers coming to The Good Guys to support BBI by buying sausages. There was plenty of sausages and onions that was to be eaten. There was Ms Callaghan who was the teacher charge and Roger the president of the Lions came along and helped us sell the sausages. It was a tiring day for all the students, parent helpers and teachers. Some of the customers said “ It was crispy and golden brown they were delicious and the respect for the customer were great!” “The sausages that the BB was selling had a good taste and they were cooked right and the sausages were delicious. I have brought the others teams sausages to compare the taste but the result was obvious the BBI’s sausage was the best because it was crispy. They weren’t burnt like the other teams. We had to buy more than 2 sausages to make our stomachs feel good. It was very nice.” It was nearly the end of the sausage sizzle when Ms Callaghan’s future husband and some other teacher from BBi that came to buy a sausage. All the student from BBI got forced by the sellers to buy a sausage. It was a successful day and all the people had fun selling the sausages.

BBI Athletics day.

This year’s BBI Athletics day is happening on Thursday the 5th of November 2010. The compulsary events this year are Long Jump, 100 metre sprints, Discus and Shotput. The other events are 200 metre sprints, 400 metre sprints, 800 metre sprints, 1500 metre sprints and High Jump. For the uncompulsary events you will need to trial unless not many people have entered that event. Currently they are holding High Jump trials. Todays are Intermediate Boys. There are 3 grades and 3 age groups. The grades are A Grade for people who want to try to get into Eastern zone, B grade for people who think they are good but don’t want to get into Eastern zone and C Grade is for people who don’t think they are any good and don’t really want to participate in Athletics day. The 3 age groups are Seniors who are over 12 years, 9 months on October the 1st, Intermediate for people who are 12 by October the 1st but not yet 12 years, 9 months and Junior for people who have not yet turned 12 on October the 1st. But it does not seem like many students are looking foward to the Athletics day as quite a few quoted that they are not looking foward to the Athletics day. Only a few quoted that they were or that they are sort of looking foward to the Athletics day on Thurday. I will be back after the day to report how it went.

 * **Story:**
 * Spot the difference**
 * South Africa. A glorious country. Yet it is very much different to here. It has a different race, a different currency and a different landscape. There are longer roads and much more farms. It even has its own language. It has 11 official languages, to be exact. Imagine all those languages in one anthem! Wow! There are many different schools as well. Very different compared to New Zealand schools. Of course, where there is schooling, there is teaching. So exactly what is the difference between teaching in South Africa and teaching here? Is it harder? Let’s find out.**
 * Q: Mrs. Lemmer, when did you start teaching in Zimbabwe?**

 * Q: When did you stop teaching in Zimbabwe?**
 * A: I stopped teaching in Zimbabwe in 2001**

Imagine. Flying through the dark skies and landing in a far away land called New Zealand. They speak this strange language called ‘english’ here. And oddly enough - you don’t! ESOL stands for ‘English for Speakers of Other Languages’ There are 3 levels at ESOL. Students in the 3rd level can speak better English than students in the 2nd level and students in the 2nd level have better English skills than people in the 1st level.
 * **Headline:** The Life of an ESOL Student || **Sub headline:** ||
 * **Story:**

I interviewed Jenny and Louise (translated by Judy) to get a better understanding of their world.

Q: What actually happens at ESOL? A: We write essays and read books as well as play games.

Q: What different subjects do the 3rd, 2nd and 1st level students do/don’t do. A: 1st level students don't do aSTLE tests unlike 3rd level students.

Q: Do you think that you have improved your English from the start of the year to the end? Why? A: Definitely. Because 'humans will always learn'.

Q: What methods do ESOL teachers use that you think are especially effective? A: Using the computer and playing games - having a more fun way to learn makes it easier to concentrate.

Q: Do you enjoy ESOL? A: It’s alright and it’s also great fun.

Q: Is it hard to learn outside of ESOL? Why? A: It’s not too hard. If you don’t know what you’re supposed to do just copy other people.

I hope you’ve learnt a little bit more about ESOL students and what they have to go through in their everyday lives.

Science Club

Every monday period five there is a small group of students who go to the science room. They go there to improve their science skills. The three year 8 students held a trial because to many people entered the Science Club and they could only take 15-20 students. The test was easy for some students and very hard for others. The group have students have learn’t stuff like isotopes, atoms and velocity. We have Abhishek Chawla and William Liang here to tell us some things they like about the science club. “ You get to learn about exciting science topics that we haven’t learnt before.”, says Wililam. “ I really like science club because it is fun the teachers are kind, they give you rewards, Im hoping I can improve my science results next time when I do a test, but the bad thing is sometimes it can get a little boring and repetitive but most of the time its fun and challneging”, says Andrew. Now we have Daniel he trialed for the science but didn’t make it in lets see what he has to say. “ I really hoped I would get in because I extend my science knowledge, I could try again next time”, says Daniel Lu. The science is a fun activity.  Quote- “ If you want to improve a certain subject, you can join extension classes. Even though they are boring, they will help you in your future”. So as you can see the science club is fun and challenging and it is worth trying. By Andrew

Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident Review
 * **Headline:** Bowyn's Book Review || **Sub headline:** Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer ||
 * **Story:**

The main idea of the book is about the smuggling of the dangerous Softnose lasers which the goblins use to overthrow the elfin council. The fairies need Artemis Fowl to find out who are the masterminds of the plan. However, Artemis requires the help of the fairies as well to rescue is father from the Russian Mafiya. The story continues...

The main protagonists are: Artemis Fowl, Holly Short, Foaly and Julius Root.

Artemis Fowl is the 12-year-old genius with the highest tested IQ in Europe. He is alert and comes up with perfect plans that are executable. His specialties are hacking into computers and creating plans for many different situations. He has a calm personality and is quite cocky. But, when things turn grim he can get serious and his plans however seemingly ridiculous always work well.

Holly Short is a smart mouthed captain of the LEP (which is basically a police force) that is very fit and is an adept marksman. She can use different types of spells quite well and can stay calm in all sorts of situations. Holly believes strongly in justice and can easily make decisions between right and wrong. This fairy is a good-natured elf.

Foaly is a centaur and is extremely smart like Artemis. He creates different types of technology which are all very useful. This centaur is very fond of his technology and he would always complain if Julius picks on him. Still, he is an essential asset to the LEP and without him human technology would be catching up to the fairy brand.

Julius Root is the commander of the LEP and is somewhat temperamental. Many LEP officers call him 'beetroot' due to the purple colour of his face when he gets angry. However he is a good commander and has had the most successful Recon missions in history.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5 Very good book in all areas. The characters are humorous and the plot is clear. Very vivid descriptions. There isn't as much action though.

On 16/10/10 The 5girls,5boys in the Bollywood team coached by Mrs Sunker danced at the Dorothy Winstone centre against 17 other intermediate schools around Auckland.The team was made up of Kunal,Sanal,Isaac,Sajeev,Milan,Rochelle,Vasalini,Jhaanvi,Makalya and Darshiya. Thanks to their hard work the team came 3rd at the competition.”It was one of the coolest things I have done this year!” quote by Kunal. They had to practice for 12/13 weeks including using some of their holiday time. Everybody got sick of the practices but if they wanted to win they had to show up.The practices wasted our precious holiday time but in the end it payed out in the end. On the day everybody was nervous. They had to put everything that they learned and practiced from Mrs Sunker into the competition. As soon as they went on stage the adrenaline took control over their nerves and forced them to dance to their best. “The other schools were very good that made us nervous about us winning but we had hope” Quote by Kunal. Mrs Sunker chose awesome songs that would make the team flow with the music.It wasn’t till the very end they found out that they came 3rd and won a huge check for $250. They were in a huge surprise that they found out that they got a placing . As soon as they came home and told there parent’s,they had to wait till Monday to tell the school of there big news and present the check. Congratulations to the team and there hard work!
