Today's Funny Quote isn't going to be a regular feature on Room 13's Blog, but here is a hilarious one I just found:

"The road to success is always under construction."- Anonymous

Welcome back to 2012. At 5 days into the term we're just starting this exciting year at MIS. Today we just received our homework diaries, so our stationary kit is complete, meaning that we can get straight into maths, reading and writing. Star pupil Callum and his sidekick Jacob have been recruited to manage the blog for us- they have various unofficial qualifications and 6 years ICT experience between them. Callum and Jacob will also be bringing you some entertainment later in the year when Callum relaunches his film-making company, Callum's Presentations.

Hi  and greetings to your all from the Cooking room.   We are coming to the end of a very hectic term and it is nice to say that the profiles are completed and this has given us the opportunity of show casing lots of positive comments illustrating your students efforts.

This last cycle has seen most students make a Christmas Wreath to cover the curriculum in cultural and festive foods.

We had promised some photos however we will have to show them another time as we have had an ICT glitch!

This week our class were given a technology challenge to complete.  Our task was to create a pikau or backpack.  All we were allowed to use was:

• 15 double sheets of newspaper
• 1 vivid pen
• 1 sticky label
• 2 A4 sheets of card
• 1 roll of sticky tape
• scissors

We worked in groups and we had 30 minutes to complete the task.  Mrs Kerr who was in our class was very impressed with how we worked together and to create our backpacks and we had a lot of fun. 

Last night was the MIS arts evening for 2011.There were performances from the Orchestra, the Choir and the MIS Rock Band End Of An Era. There were also some performances from some students that do musical lessons. Overall it was a fantastic night of awesome performances and thankyou to everyone who came to the concert.

Hi All,

Well what a crazy term and the end of the year is all but upon us. 

Firstly a huge congratulations to Sean McGruddy, Ashlee Edmonds and Salote Mua'kiholeva who have all been selected to travel to Japan next year with our travel group.  This is great to see and shows others in the class how a great effort in all areas at school also has its rewards.  Well done you three.
