Spanish Conversations

This is hopefully the first of several Spanish conversations created by the students of room 4 3/4. We have added subtitles so that you can learn while you watch.

RICH TASK EVENING

At the end of term 3 we showcased our Rich Task work for parents and visitors. It was a great evening and it was a great way to show what we have been doing in class.

Espanol response

¿Te gusta algo?

Speeches

Earlier this week we had the schoolwide speech finals. There were some great speeches and everyone had a good time listening to them. We are pleased to say that Room 4 3/4's own Ben Williamson came in first place, and he will be competing in the central zone speech finals, which will actually be held right here in Balmoral School! Be sure to come and support him at the finals on Tuesday night.

RUGBY WORLD CUP!

In Room 4 3/4 we are having a sweepstake and have all randomly selected a team. For our homework this week we are researching information about our country. Easy if you have NZ, not so easy if you got Namibia!

Weekly Round-up

This week we had some more foreign visitors! 14 Japanese students from our sister school Shinano Junior High traveled all the way from Japan to visit our school. Unfortunately, nobody from our class was a homestay, so we didn't really have much to do with them, but it was still a very fun experience for both them and us.

The seven AIMS students from our class have also just performed their speeches. There were some very good performances and the standard was set very high. Topics included Aliens, 2012, Gambling and Fitness, and all were very good.

Thats all for this week, thank you and goodbye!

Korean Homestays

In weeks 1 and 2 our school received 30 students from Solvit Middle School in South Korea. Some of our students paired up with them and helped them out at school while they learned more about our culture, language and daily life. Room 4 3/4 had two of these buddies and so we got two awesome and smart Korean students to stay with us for 2 weeks. Here is Edward and Yong Min, the 2 Korean students that came to our class:

Sadly, the students left last week, on Friday. It was a great experience having them, and the we all miss every single one of them.
