Touch Rugby Training

Touch Rugby

On Thursday the 5th of November we had touch rugby. The coach who taught us was Trevor. He has been teaching kids at schools for many years. He taught us how to play touch and the basic skills of Touch Rugby. We were split into 4 groups and the activities began.

We played two games. The first game was great fun and the second game was alright but I preferred the first game. After all the energy we put into touch we were all tired, we said “bye” to Trevor and walked back to class and rushed to monitors.

Although we were sweating it was still fun and Trevor was cool to….

Poetry Recital

On Friday the 6th it was the Poetry Recital. There was lots of people chosen for the Poetry Recital from every class, from our class there was Elizabeth and Florida. Everyone had their turn and they look like they had lots of fun up there. It was Elizabeth and Florida's turn, they looked so nervous when they were up there. When they were finished everyone started clapping. The contesters all got a certificates. It was fun watching all the people who participated in Poetry Recital.

Star Reading Test

Star Reading Test

Mrs Golder instructed us to START our test. It was easy. I kept on going but then it got more complicated and difficult later on.

All my nerves were getting to me. I used what I learnt from Cloze Reading to help with my test. The palm of my hands were getting sweaty so I kept swapping the positions  that I held my pencil in. I got distracted multiple times by Mrs Golder’s voice

I finished the last question and Mrs Golder said “stop”. That was the end of the test, the test was finally over and I was so happy that I had finished.

Syndicate Assembly

On Monday the 2th of November Room 10 had to present there Assembly, they chose two songs, called the teachers up for certificates at one at a time starting from Room 12 then the other classes. After the Assembly everyone went to there classes.

Cross Country Race

        On Wednesday the 16th we started our Cross Country race. Miss Ginders had called Room 12 up to the starting line. Before we started Miss Ginders  said, "When you start you have to do four laps. Then you have to come up to the field and pass the finish line." 
Miss Ginders said, "Go." Then me and Fotu started sprinting until we got around the corner. I ran all the way but I jogged as well and I came 1st for the boys. All the children  and adults were cheering for us. After all the running we all went to our classes. Year 7 did three laps and the other classes did less. It was so exhausting after we finished running.

Cross Country Certificate

When the teacher said "Chance up for 1st place," I was so happy that I came first in the school cross-country boys' race.  I was really exhausted after we finished, my legs were so tired and I felt like I was going to faint.      

Daffodil Day

On Friday the 31st of August, Ruapotaka School had to bring in a gold coin and children got a Daffodil from Mrs Vickers . Every class had made a daffodil and Room 12 made an origami daffodil. Then Sini made an origami vase and we put our daffodils in the vase and Mika took a picture of it with Sini, Kolotina and himself. Then we gave our daffodils to Mrs Vickers. We were happy that we finished.
