Inspiring writers


Recently we watched this video by Dai Henwwood sharing his experience of writing and coming up with a story starter to inspire others.  Well, we love really cool story starters too, so we had a go at coming up with our own inspirations for other writers out there.

Tiana and Aroha
Sophie T
Dara and Akasha
Anna, Freya, Bella
Piper
Alex and Kayla
Lizzie
Nina and Mariah
Hollie and Lucy  (black screen but clear audio)

If any of these inspire you to write, please share your stories.  We'd love to hear them.

Awesome mathematicians!

In Tangaroa, many of our students like to sharpen their math skills on a fun, game based website called Sumdog.   This week we took part in a challenge against 20 other schools throughout New Zealand. Students had to answer 1000 questions and results are based on percentage correct.

We topped the leaderboard on Monday, and were third overall, but even better, we had 4 students (Cole, Josh, Lizzie and Dara) placing in the top 6! 

They were closely followed by Samantha, Ruth, Nile, Jayden and Sophie T, all placing in the top 20. 

Well done everyone who took part.

KIDNAPPED!

KIDNAPPED!
It was all over the news paper. My girl. My daughter, gone, what do I do? She’s missing and I can’t do anything about It. I’m useless to her, I’m such a bad mum. But I have to keep trying. She has to be around here somewhere right?

I spend the whole week looking for her round the town we live In but nothing. I miss her so much, she Is the only thing I have. Who has the nerve to take my daughter! I get angry really angry. My daughter Is gone and I don’t know where. Someone’s taken her. Away from me, what If she never comes back.

As I’m driving down the street still looking for something I don’t even know. I hit something. I jump back in shock when I slam on the breaks not knowing what I hit. I’m getting out of the car scared to what I’m going to see.

I walk round to the front of the car seeing the start of what I hit. As i get closer I can see that It’s a person but It was my daughter! I ran to her with tears streaming down my face uncontrollably. But when I get to her i see what I have done.

She’s gone. dead , not alive because of me. I don’t even know where she was, or what happened to her. I killed her.

Blood all over my hands and my clothes I take her into my arms not letting her go “ baby please don’t go” but It’s too late crying my eyes out I say “goodbye my baby”.

Debating begins!


Last week eight students in Tangaroa took the floor to debate whether winter sports was good for personal development (or not!). Arguing for the affirmative were Tyrone, Neco, Alex H and Delroy. Arguing the negative were Lizzie, Hayley, Hollie and Tiana.

It was a lively debate with well reasoned and researched arguments and just a little bit of friendly interjection. 

And who won?  It was closely fought but let's just say we won't be taking winter sport out of the curriculum just yet!
