Mini Olympics Jamaica

Today, we had a to get into our Mini Olympics teams to colour in our flags. We created a slide to type about our countries. In my team are Leilani and Solomone from Room 10. Our country was Jamaica. My favourite athlete from the Rio Olympics is Usain Bolt. I can't wait for the Mini Olympics competition to start.

This Is Too Fun!

Last week on Thursday, my class Room 12 were the first class to experience Snag Golf in the seniors.

After fitness we had to quickly ZOOM into class and do the roll. Then as fast as we could, we discreetly walked up to the basketball court to greet our coach, to play and listen to the rules.

The rules were simple and we all followed them. Too bad I forgot them. Anyway, there were five teams and three people in each. In my team were James and Azahar. All of us had to aim for the yellow and red target and roll the ball at it. Then, we had to roll the ball in the hoop.

At last, we used the golf clubs. We did the same thing, but using golf clubs. My favourite part was hitting the ball with the golf clubs and getting the ball through the hoop even though I missed a lot. Well, if I have spare time I am going to practise to become better.

 It was lots of fun and I hope we get to play again.

No Bees = No Humans

We are learning about bees and how important they are to the earth. These are some reasons on how and why we can save the bees.

Testing Our Maths Skills

On Tuesday, my class had a maths test based on measurement, time, area and perimeter.

Firstly we had to move our desks into different places of the classroom, then we started testing. At first I was confident, but then the questions were getting more difficult.

Then after the test, on Wednesday afternoon our results were in. When everyone saw their results they asked each other what results they had, including me.

My results were 28 out of 38.

Buddy Reading

On Monday, my class Room 12 went to Room 7. We went at 2:30 pm. Buddy reading is when the Room 7 students read to Room 12. You have to pair up into twos, or maybe threes.

 My buddy was Sonny, and my helper was Quros. Soon after Sonny read his book it was time to pack up. After we packed up the bell rang.

I can't wait until it's our turn to read to them.

Soccer At Lunchtime

Last week at lunchtime on Friday, Room 12 had a friendly game of soccer. The teams were mixed. Mr. Sok was the teacher who took us out to play soccer. In my team were Me, Aydrian, Maranatha, Heilala, Lupe and Mika. The score was 3-1 and my team won. After the game we shook each others' hands.

Special Assembly with Vector

Last Thursday, a special guest who worked at Vector came to Ruapotaka School. Vector is a company that is responsible for the electricity. 


Her name was Esther. She was talking about different types of electricity throughout New Zealand. She also showed us her cardboard helicopter and car. 

Then she put a lamp over the helicopter and the propeller started to spin. Next, she shined the lamp over the car, and it started to drive in circles. 

Later on, she gave us a pencil and booklet. I'm looking forward to another Special Assembly.
