FROM THE PRINCIPAL Lisa Morresey

Mā te wa Kia ora koutou, Open Evening Tonight Tonight, 21st August, we are hosting our annual information evening. Please encourage all prospective parents of year 6 students to attend. Even if you know a lot about MMI already, attending the open evening is an important part of beginning the transition process together. It enables you to talk with your child about intermediate, changing schools and all that we have to offer. All families, in zone and out of zone, are welcome to attend. Although, spaces are limited in 2020, we may be able to take a small number of out of zone students. The information evening begins promptly at 6.30pm, however classrooms and the specialist classrooms, will be open for viewing from 6.00 pm. There will also be entertainment in the school hall. The information evening will last approximately one hour, followed a quick cup of tea. Our student leaders, kapa haka and performance groups will also attend. Accelerate Class Information – 5.45pm – 6.20pm If your child is very capable learner and has been recommended by their class teacher, as a candidate for the accelerate class, there is an information session being held prior to the information evening. Your year 6 child should be working above level four (year 7/8) and above in the New Zealand Curriculum. Ma te wa Whaea Lisa Tumuaki




SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FAIR After a hugely successful school-wide Science and Technology Fair, with over 100 entries, 22 projects were selected to go to the NIWA Bay of Plenty Science Fair competition. After a day of presenting their work to the judges, 6 students were invited to come back the next day to receive an award. Luca Ririnui, Sam Cross, Keenan McGregor and Jarvis York were awarded highly commended awards, with a $20 cash prize each. Luca's project 'Life on Mars', also got a special award from, the NZ Soil Science, with $50 cash. Ska Taylor-Horne and Macka Wagstaff's technology project 'Trash Trap' received an award from the Bay of Plenty Regional Council Environmental Award and $150 cash. We also got to meet the Mayor of Rotorua and discuss with her some of the issues facing our community at the moment. Well done to our prize winners and to all the students who completed a project this year!




FOOD TECHNOLOGY - TERM 3 UPDATE Due to the refurbishment of two of our specialist rooms, this term, the students have been fortunate enough to be experiencing a varied and alternative programme in Food Technology. Year 7 students have recently accepted the challenge of designing the ultimate donut whilst Year 8’s have been steadily working on designing their own restaurant/café or food truck business. Both year groups have also been learning more about taste buds and have just conducted taste sensitivity ‘experiments’. Having discovered that the number of taste buds present can vary from person to person, students went about finding who the supertasters were in their respective classes.

Students have equally enjoyed learning how physical and chemical changes take place to transform ingredients through the making of bath bombs. After planning and preparing their product, students constructed attractive packaging then presented their bath bombs to their chosen stakeholder.

But wait, there’s more! We mustn’t forget about the yummy treats they have been making too! At the end of each mini unit, students reflect on their success and identify opportunities for improvement.

The last word comes directly from the students: “At the start of the programme, I wasn’t really sure what to expect but so far the programme has been pretty good. In a way, I’ve liked not just doing food”. “It’s pretty cool that it’s different. I thought it wouldn’t work out because we are not in a kitchen. It’s been good learning how to make stuff without using an oven or elements. The stuff has been yum and creative”. “Whaea Deb (Mrs Barr) is mean as (in a good way). She works twice as hard to make sure we enjoy it…succeeds in making our day better and making me leave with a smile ”.




DANCE NZMADE On Monday, 12th August, the Dance NZ Made team: Skye Shaw, Bianca Cross, Jess Sheaff, Maia Ormsby, Kellsie Macdonald, Taryn Wilson, Gaby Annear, Tia Wilkie, Jenna Melrose, Marissa Gardner, choreographed by Georgia Flanagan, performed their dance ‘Sacrifice’ at Baycourt Theatre.

INDOOR BOWLS PRE AIMS TOURNAMENT

On Friday, 16th August, 22 students took part in the Pre AIMs Indoor Bowls Tournament, which was held at the Mount Sports Centre. There were 41 pairs from around the Bay, including our 11 teams. Each team played 4 games, in the lead up and 5 of our teams made it to the qualifying round. Two of these teams were knocked out (by Mount Intermediate teams) and the remaining 3 went on to play in the finals. Two of our teams played against each other for third and fourth and Sarah Adlam and Bianca Cross won against Tauranga Intermediate to place first in the tournament. The final results: First: Mount Intermediate – Sarah Adlam and Bianca Cross Second: Tauranga Intermediate Third: Mount Intermediate – Lawrence James and Joseph Goldsmith Fourth: Mount Intermediate – Josh Davies and Finn Simpson We are super proud of all the teams, their sportsmanship was fantastic and congratulations to these 6 students on their efforts.
