 * The teachers will help the students on picking an appropriate topic or a question, the students keep a management plan on all their progress through-out their science fair research, the students are encouraged to keep a log on their progress, this is optional. This will help the students have more of an understanding of how to write an investigation. **

This also helps them understand the ways of sciences and physics, when the students interact with the testing it helps them get a better understanding write an hypothesis, variables, apparatus, method, results and conclusion for the Experiment. **

 * Text || Mr Guyan was born in Howick and has lived there all his life. He was the youngest of three brothers. As a child, he travelled a lot around New Zealand but not much overseas. Mr Guyan described himself as being a funny kid who played hockey and the saxophone. His nicknames were “Buddha” (because he was fat – we know he's the opposite) and Spider (because he did a lot of rock climbing).

Q1. What weird or wacky sport have you have tried or, what sports are you good at? Well... if it counts, I make confidence courses in my backyard for my son, Jake.

Q2. How many times have you won the Noddy Award in your teaching career? Two or three times maybe. One year, the day before the first day of school, I left my class list for the year on my desk which was next to the window. On the first day, some kids saw the class list and looked at it to see if they were in his class.

Q9. Are there any other teachers in your family? Yes, heaps of people in my family are. My dad was a teacher and all my uncles and aunties have been teachers at some point in their life except one, who was a caretaker at a school.

Q10. What made you want to be a teacher? I always wanted to be a teacher at intermediate school, even before I went there. When my brothers were at intermediate school, they came home and told me about what they did at school. Since then I have wanted to be a teacher.

Q11. Do you have a fitness regime? Yes I do, lots of running.

Q12. Are you a good speller? No, I am a terrible speller.

Q13. How were the radio auditions? Actually, because there were so many applicants from my class, I decided to get Mr Dickinson to do the selection. Well, how happy are you with the ones who were chosen? So far it's going very well. The broadcast will hopefully start next week on the 18th.

 * Text || The pressure spread across the year 7 students as they all got excited because they had a chance to be part of a radio team...

Mr Dickinson has written an application form for all the students willing to participate for the radio. The opportunity was spectacular. The students had one week to fill out the application form.

After all the applications had been given in, the decisions started... Mr Guyan gathered all the applicants to room 8 for an audition everyone was nervous yet excited at the same time. Mr Guyan then handed the audition piece over and one by one over 3 days the auditions were held.

The selection was made and training for the crew is in progress.

If you missed the audition, didn’t get in or want to be involved with the radio, you can create podcasts, jingles, or pieces of music for the station. If this sounds like you contact Mr Guyan or Mr Dickinson and Inquire. ||



Teacher laughs

It's was a typical day in Room 17. We were working hard on our inquiry project when suddenly there was a loud pop. All of us looked all around the classroom but we saw nothing. Then we heard a loud YELL. We turn around and look at the teacher to find her lying down on the ground rubbing her head. Room 17 looked on the ground to see her beloved giant silver exercise ball lying there... DEAD. Her exercise ball that she sits on everyday had exploded. Mrs Burgess complained about how sore her head was. She nearly got knocked out! The next day we were all still laughing. It was hilarious. In the glimpse of an eye we saw Mrs Burgess yet again walking down the basketball courts with a large pink exercise ball. By Fiona Clyde, Carissa Major and Jenna-Lee Esterhuizen

The day Mrs Farrow lost her pupils!

It was an intense day for Mrs F. An inspector was coming in to look at how well her teaching is. Mrs F gave the children an activity to do. Suddenly the children got distracted by a giant hot air balloon flying past the window. Mrs F. said to her children that they can go and have a look at the hot air balloon while she spoke to the inspector. As she looked over she saw that her pupils were not in class. While she was speaking to the inspector they had tip toed past her and ran down to the field. She freaked out saying: I have lost my kids,I have lost my kids!!!! next moment she hears a teacher yelling “You KIDS GET BACK TO YOUR CLASS!!!!” All of the kids ran back into the class to find Mrs F giving them the most confused look ever, Mrs f then opened her mouth and said “ I said you kids could have a look out the window not go down to the field. Mrs F was so embarrassed. And from that day forward Mrs F made sure she was absolutely clear about the instructions she gives out. By: JENNA-LEE & CARISSA

The first trip, on the Friday 18th of June, we went to Araimu by a long and thrilling bus ride. We planted on a extremely steep slope by digging our shovels in the filthy mud for 2 hours. After we’d finished the difficult and grinding work, we headed down the deck for our delicious lunch. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> It was sausages with bread, fruit and various snack foods.
