Fruit and Vegie racers

While most students took part in Summer Tournament on March 23, those that stayed behind in Room 12 created racing machines out of old fruit and vegetables.
All vehicles ended up in the compost but before that there was some intense creating and racing down the ramp by the top courts.
The names for the mobiles included Skux mobile, Fantastic Fruit Car, Death Racer and the KFC mobile.
Some of the creations and creators are pictured below.

Swimming sports

Room 12, along with the rest of Broadgreen Intermediate, enjoyed a fun day of competing and supporting Isel House at the School Swimming Sports March 6.
Zac managed to find three different purple outfits for the occasion. There were some great swims from many people in the class, with Erika and Jon Marni making the Inter-school Swimming Sports team and Ryan H representing the school at the Novelty Swimming Sports.


Whenua Iti team building trip

Room 12 ventured out to Whenua Iti on March 1 for a day of testing our limits, learning more about ourselves and our classmates, and encouraging others.
We were hoisted into the air on the Flying Kiwi or Kiore, jumped off a platform onto the trapeze and scaled the poles to jump across the broken bridge and along the beam.
Some pushed themselves by simply getting up to the platforms while others used blindfolds to test their limits.
Fun times were had by all and there was great support for classmates.
