Briannas View on her day at plateau at school

Yesterday we went to Maidstone intermediate for a view for when we move on to intermediate.

At Maidstone intermediate we got a tour of the school and a taste of every day life at the school.

My group was the first group to do the cooking class we got to ice cup cakes and make Yummy rolls the best part was eating them.

Then we got to work on Fabrics It was not that fun but we still made fake post cards.

After that we did some sport for the sport we did a game of soccer we tied 0/0.

After that is was finely time to catch a bus back to our school.

One Wednesday was going to be great because we are going to Maidstone to see if we want to go to Maidstone when we got there we were greeted by a great kapa huka performs then we got into groups and got to be a Maidstone student for a day and we made little kiwis and it took about 30 minutes and after that we went to the school hall and had some food and got to lesson to two bands then .we got to do plays and drama and it was so fun! then we got back to the hall and did some sport and we did football/soccer and my team one by a total of there goals and i scored one goal then we got to have a tour around Maidstone and if we were good we would get a golden ticket. and we could win a prize but sad thing is no one from plateau school got nothing but the lucky person was a girl from mangaroa school called Marie who won a sports bag as the prize and when we got back from Maidstone we put the chairs up and read a book then the school day was over.        

Visit to Maidstone

Yesterday RURU class went to Maidstone intermediate for a tour and had a turn at some of the activities we walked around the class and we saw same of the students working with their writing book but we work a lot on a Chromebook. I am looking forward to writing in a book because I prefer that. I am used to using a pencil, not a keyboard.
What devices do you use to write with?

Plateau school

In kea class we have been doing writing math reading and most of all we have used chrome books  to do our writing , research and presentations.
I normally have to edit  my writing because I don't normally don't pay much ate chin to spelling. Some words I find easier to spell than others!   

Have you been on a visit to Maidstone Intermediate?

We really want to help you with your writing. Here are some ideas that we use all the time.


  • Look at a check list to see what you need to do 
  • If you don't know how to spell a word check it in a dictionary
  • If you are working on-line and the word is underlined in red use the spell checker 
  • Always re-read your work to make sure that it makes sense
  • Work with a buddy because they can help you with ideas and spelling
  • Plan your ideas so you can make sure they are in order
  • Make sure as you are writing to check that it is following your plan
  • Add descriptions to help make your writing more interesting
