Week 9 Term 2

This week some people from Belmont came over to Te Awamutu for our 23rd sports exchange. Their were 13 sports played and Te Awamutu Intermediate won six of them, Belmont Intermediate won five of them, and the other two were a draw. Last year Belmont took home the shield, but this year it has come back to Te Awamutu.  

For maths, I have nearly finished the work on percentages. I learnt how to find the percentage change, to calculate profit or loss, and to calculate simple interest. For reading, our draft analysis had to be finished on Wednesday, but I also finished editing it and handed it in early. For writing, I have chose to do should plastic bags from supermarkets and other retail outlets be banned. The draft has to be finished by next Friday and I'm not going to be at school next Tuesday and Wednesday because on Tuesday I'm going on the marae trip, and on Wednesday I have the gym sport festival.

We have finished music and we have now started food. For the first lesson we made dip sticks and cheesy rolls. The dip sticks was just crusts from the bread with marmite and cheese on them, and the cheesy rolls was corn and cheese on a piece of bread (without the crusts) and then rolled up and put in the oven. The next lesson we made paraoa bread which is technically just a sweet Maori bread. It's taste nice but also really weird because it's sweet. Next Week we are making either butterfly cakes, peach danish, or banana bread.

For science fair, I didn't get to the finals but nine people from my class did and then four placed.
