The Gaming Group! FTW

This term we have decided to focus our topic on Gaming and Esport, since it is such a huge issue and it is very popular in pop culture, we decided to prove schools that gaming may not only train your brain, but can change your life as well, you might become famous one day from winning a gaming tournament, who knows?

We focused mainly on Minecraft, yup, the popular sandbox indie game developed and published by Mojang AB and Notch, since many NZ schools use it as a learning tool for their students, we decided that Howick Intermediate should have their own Minecraft club open for students who are wanting to join, and we can host our own free2play legitimate Minecraft PvP tournamnet, like the 1st prize is a juicie (legit right?)

Nutrition Group

This Cycle the Nutrition group in Room 7 have been focusing on our school canteen menu and were trying to improve the menu by adding more healthy choices that do not contain dirty palm oil. We have made pizza and chicken burgers in Food Technology with Mrs Watson to look at selling them in the tuck shop. We have been looking at ways to change the school menu to one with more healthy options on it. This Thursday we are making muffins to sell in our school tuck shop. We have been working with the Deforestation group in our class by making foods that that do not contain dirty palm oil. We attempted to contact Heart Foundation, Fuelled4Life, and 5+ a Day however none of them were able to help us with our inquiry.
