Excitement buzzed in the air as all the year 6's from Wairakei crowded onto the bus, trying to find the perfect seats next to their friends. It was going to be such a fun morning! Cobham Intermediate gave us the chance to go along to their school for the morning and experience some of the activities that intermediate children do.
When we arrived we waited outside for a few minutes until one of the students came and escorted us to the hall. We weren't the only primary school there. Burnside Primary was there too! The head students and deputy head students welcomed us before the principle, Mr Thelning, had a chat with us.
Soon after we were split into groups and taken to our first activity for the morning. My first class was 'Habits of Mind'. We played a game where the teacher said "a ship came out to port loaded with a cargo full of things beginning with....". He would then say a letter and when he pointed at you you had to try and say something begginning with that letter but only in three seconds! If you don't say anything or your word doesn't start with that letter you are out. I won the game and when I played against Mr Thelning I won again! We then invented some creative shoes and drew them on paper.
After morning tea we were sent off in different groups to a new activity. I was so lucky! I was in the cooking tech group! We made scones in pairs and were given the choice to put either dates or cheese in them. Funnily enough everyone chose cheese!
I really enjoyed the Cobham experience and I think Cobham Intermediate would be a good school for me because they have lots of opportunities for students to get involved; not just because they gave us sausages and fizzy drinks!
