Welcome To Term 3!


Welcome to Term 3 at Bell Block School!
Here in Room 10 we have a busy term with everything from Kapa Haka competitions to Interschool and Speeches. We have had our first interschool competition when we hosted Oakura, and tomorrow (Friday) we are going to Puketapu school, just down the road a bit from ours to go and play netball, soccer and rugby. Yesterday (Wednesday) the Kapa Haka group, lead by Whaia Raewyn and went to the TSB Stadium to compete in the Te Matatini National Kapa Haka Festival 2009. We all had a great time. We are also working on our speeches, using the hamburger format, and practicing with informative speeches, persuasive speeches and entertaining speeches. We are also broadening our literacy skills by working with poetry. We will be updating this through-out the term on all the exciting things happening in Room 10!
