Oamaru Intermediate

JHC vs OIS in the hockey and both teams go away with a 2 all draw! But it was a good game though! Lets try and win the hockey next year in the interschool at JHC.

This Friday majority of the year 8’s will be going to orientation at Waitaki Girls High School (WGHS) or Waitaki Boys High School (WBHS). Good luck to all of the year 8’s that are going to one of the high schools.

The softball season is back again and we are into it! This year at Oamaru Intermediate we have a total of seven teams. Six boys teams and one all girl team. Common guys get into it.

Year 8 camps! Yay!
In less than 3 weeks Stewart Island A campers will be on the road heading to Stewart Island, those poor, poor Stewart Island A campers will have to see Mr Martin in his wet suit (and maybe even Speedos!) They will be leaving on the 9th-13th of November. Then a week later on the 16th the Stewart Island B campers and the Wainui and Mt Somers campers will be leaving and there will only be 36 year 8’s left in the school for a week. With all the fundraising and donations of food that have already come in I’m pretty sure that all of the camps are going to be awesome! Be sure to check the blog for pictures of the camps.

Recently Mrs. Senior went to the New Zealand Reading Association Conference to share our reading log blog with other schools. Some schools thought it was such a good idea they’ve made their own. A few of these include;

Recently at school we have created fair tests for our school science fair.
Some of the ideas are; the good old mentos and coke, mould experiments.
The winners get to go to Timaru for the regional finals. At the finals we could win prizes of up to $100.

We are coming to the end of term3. Man the year is going fast only 50 days of school left and then bring on the summer holidays. After the holidays the Yr 8’s will go off to the high schools and the Yr 7’s will rule the school.

Lucy and Taylor were the reporters for the James Hargest Vs Oamaru Intermediate Exchange. The Exchange has been going between the schools for 17 years every 2nd Year OIS goes to James Hargest. Both schools think it is good because it is a chance for students to interact, show hospitality, practise the maori culture and get out and play some awesome sport.
