😣😢Last 2 Weeks Of School😥

It is the last 2 weeks of school. After the 2 weeks of school it is going to be the holidays and Christmas eve. I am excited that Christmas is nearly here and i'm excited about holidays too. I cant wait for Christmas because I will be heading to Australia for a week or 2 to stay with my cousins and my mum, also reports are ready and I hope mine is good!

😌Athletics!!!😥

At athletics it was really tiring because how we had to run a 200m and a 400m. It was hard running around without stopping. I could of came last but I came 3rd out of the year 7s. Pupuke came 2nd and Saluselo came 1st. It was so hard and tiring but I really enjoyed it. What I really liked about athletics was when we were running on the track.

Manaiakalani

Yesterday on Wednesday we went to the Manaiakalani Film Festival at the movie theater.  We went by bus there. Everyone was so excited to go watch there films that they made. When we got there we had to wait for a little.

When we were inside we waited for the other schools to go because they finished watching the films. When we went in we got told where to sit and to sit with. When it started the lights turned off and it was very dark. 

When the movie started I got excited. Our movie was 2nd to start. After watching all the movies we went back to school. I really enjoyed it and it's sad it had to end.

In The Holidays😀

The school holidays were amazing. I did many things in the holidays. I played games, watched movies, hang out with my cousins and my uncle came from Palmerston North. I was so excited for the holidays and I missed school a little.

Every morning I play on my PS3 console with my friends, cousins, auntie and my uncle. It's so much fun playing with them. when it's night time I like to stay up and play games and watch netflex and yotube.

After 1 week my uncle went back to Palmerston North to go to work. He works in the army with his girlfriend Camball. He has 2 children, both girls and ones 5 and the other is 2. They are so cute. I wish the holidays could last longer. 

Cross country! 2017

Today after circuits we usually run around the court but today is different. Instead of running around the court we ran around the block. It was really tiring running around the foot path and up the hill. I was huffing and puffing the whole way. We all had to do two laps. Doing one lap is not that tiring until you rich the corner, it gets hard trying not to stop. Running is really tiring but until you keep running you'll get use to it. 

Technocraft(Graphics!) Drawing

Today we are no longer doing cooking because we changed. The year 8's are doing building in with Mr Grundy and the year 7's are doing graphics. I was so excited that we are doing graphics. When we were at graphics our teacher was Miss Kasipale. She was our realiever for Mr Stag. She told us to draw our name 6 cm's high and the words must be 6 cm's long. When we started the art, Mr Stag came and took over for Miss Kasipale. Well we were working he was helping some of our students that don't know how to do art drawing. I started off making a snake for my S and I made a penguin for my O. The penguin was spray painting on the L which looked like a wall but in 3d. My 2nd O was a egg in a nest and my M was wood forming a table. My N was wood stacked up in to three and my O was Earth. Well I was working I saw Mr Stag talking in a barney voice. We were all laughing and singing along with him. It was amazing. By the time I finished my art work Mr Reid came and said it's time to get back on the bus and go back to school. We said our goodbyes and then went back to the school. And that's what we did at Graphics!

St Kent day

On Thursday we went to St Kent in a bus and we were split up into groups so there was group 1,2,3,4. Group 5, 6 and group 2 got split up because they had too many people. I was in group 2 and I was moved to group 1. In group 1 we went to the basketball court and we played master. If you don't know what master is, it is a game that people have to line up. One person has to be the master and the person in front of the line has to try and get the ball in the hoop and if they get it in then they become the master but if they don't get it in then they have to go to the back of the line. After that we played bang. Bang is a game that they have to make a circle and a person has to stay in the middle of the circle and shout out names of people. If they call your name you have to duck down and the people on your right and left sides they have try and shoot each other, but not with real guns just their hands. When they shoot each other they say bang! The first person who says bang the other person sits down because they're out. After that we moved on to the next game. The next game was capture the flag. After capture the flag we all gathered up and sang a happy birthday song to Musica because it was his birthday! We sang the song in Maori followed in English. After that we had to go back in the bus and go back to Ruapotaka School!

😀Baking Chocolate chip muffins!!😮

Today we went in a bus to Tamaki collage to do some cooking. When we were there, we had to put on aprons so we don't get our uniform dirty. After that we had to wash our hands with soap. When it was time to cook everyone sat in their seats with their buddies. My buddy was Alexandra. When we sat down our cooking teacher, Mrs Tuipulotu. She told us that we are baking chocolate chip muffins. We were excited! After that she told us the ingredients. Then she told us to grab out our bowls and things we need to make the muffins. We grabbed our ingredients and put it in a bowl and mixed it together. When we finished putting all the ingredients in the bowl, we put it in our trays and then we put in our oven and set our heat up to 180 degrees. After a few minutes it came out like this. When we tasted it, it tasted yum like chocolate. When we came back to Ruapotaka School we went to room 3 and we ate our muffins there!

😀Our Daily Fitness!!😀

In the morning at 8:50am, we line up to get ready for running. We ran for 10 minutes a day. If it is raining we have to stay inside so we don't wet

 When we are running the people that are slowing down have to go on the left side of the road so the fast runners can overtake them on the right.
 When we go up the hill we put our heads down so our body's reduces.

Opinion: It's time for the Government to pay for our conservation future

Opinion: New Zealand's endangered wildlife was in the headlines today when guarding minister Maggie Barry announced the Department of guarding draft threatens Species Strategy in Wellington. Here at Forest & Bird, we give the strategy a four out of 10. While it has some worthy actions, it isn't supported with the funding Doc needs to take charge  about protecting native species, meaning they will continue to act as an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

Our Digital Art

Last week we had to make Tekoteko. First we had to draw a Tekoteko on a paper and when we finish we have to use a bigger one and color it in when we finish drawing it on the big paper.

When we finished our TekoTeko we have to do the same on  sumo-paint, on our Chromebook. It was fun we had to draw the body parts.
And That's How You Make A TekoTeko.

Duffy And Global girl

14/02/17
A week ago we went to assembly to watch the Duffy theater. When we sat down they asked us about if we know the Duffy song and we said yes so we sang then they got ready to act. It was fun they showed us how reading is cool and they were funny too  when they got near the end of the show. I really enjoyed the Duffy show. They showed me how reading is fun!
