Seminar Rubric

This is my Seminar Rubric, I got very high marks for it.

Stepz Dancing

Every Friday our class and 2 other classes have Stepz dancing lessons, we learn lots of different dances including The Tango, The Cha-Cha and line dancing. It is really awesome and great fun. The tutors name is Simon, he tutors us very well and slowly, so he makes sure we get it 100% perfect. We also learnt The Walking Cone, The Slide and Catch Move and Thread The Needle. They are pretty hard to learn. We have only had 4 sessions and I know the dances pretty well. We have our last session on the Friday coming. It was a huge success. A big thank you to Simon.

Competitve Athletics

On Tuesday 17th November, our school had a competitive athletics event at Bayer Growers Stadium. There were lots of different events on they were 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m, Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus. I entered 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m and Long Jump. I did the 1500m event first, after I finished my foot was really sore. So I didn't do any other events. It was a fun day.

Careers Day

On Thursday 19th November all the Year 8's at Pukekohe Intermediate had a Careers Day. We had to carry around our timetable and go to 3 different classes throughout the day, I went to the Police Officer in Period 1 & 2, then The Army in Period 3 & 4 and then Mai FM in Period 5 & 6. Mai FM was the best they gave away free CD's it was awesome, even though I didn't get any. It was a great and successful day.

Islander Style Mufti

On Friday 20th November, the whole of the Franklin District had an Islander style mufti to support the schools in Samoa after the Tsunami disaster. We had to make a gold coin donation to our school to be able to wear mufti. All money is going to a good cause to help all the victims after the tragedy. It was a huge success. A big thanks to everyone who donated to Samoa.

Website Design

Our Class, Room 23 had to create a recording artist or band then design a website for them.

We could either choose Weebly or Webs to create our website. My band is called Tempestuous, it is a two man band and consists of a guitarist and/or drummer. Christian Nepia was my partner for creating this website.

We had to have at least five pages. The pages are Home, Biography, Playlists, Career and Photo Gallery. If you want to look at my website it is www.tempestuous12.webs.com

The class had to nominate websites that stood out and they were entered in a competition called Net Guide Schools Multimedia Challenge.

Doodle 4 Google

Our Class, Room 23 did a Doodle 4 Google NZ competition. Our teacher gave us a Google format, we used it many different ways. You were able to change and distort the letters into anything that had to do with New Zealand and its national icons. There were 20 finalists chosen throughout New Zealand and they get to go to Wellington and stay at hotel for free. Their art work will also be on display at Te Papa Museum. One of the finalists is from our school. This is their Doodle (Above).
