Taradale Intermediate Visit

Today the year 6’s walked over to visit Taradale Intermediate.

We meet in the hall with Greenmeadows School, here we were greeted by the Principal Mr Coxon, Ms Eddy the Deputy Principal, Mr English the lead teacher of technology and the school leaders.

In our 7 groups we went over to the technology classes and spent an hour doing an activity.

The seven classes were:

Cooking, hard materials, digital media, visual art, bio tech, sport challnege, sewing

 

In each class we created an example of the types of things made when doing that subject.

In cooking we made cakepops,

Hard materials we made acrylic shapes 

Digital Media made a reverse video clip (we will upload this when we get it)

Visual Art we used du kit to make small objects such as hamburger, pianos, sushi, icecreams etc. (These will be delivered to school when they have been dried)

Sport Challenge we played a new game based on a traditional Maori game.

Sewing we made scented stuffed strawberries

During Biotechnolgy we had to solve the murder mystery of Professor Felix, to do this we tested his drink to see if it was power aide or poison, it was poison!!! We had to test artificial urine and blood samples. We also made some sherbet.

 

We had morning tea in the playground and then did another class.    
At the end we all meet in the hall again, asked some questions. Humo did an amazing impromptu thank you to TIS – Awesome!
We then strolled back to school in time for lunch.

It was a great first introduction to intermediate.
