🏆 The Performance Was A Success! 🏆

Today, all the classes convened together in the Multi-purpose room to perform in front of each other.

Each class presented a spectacular performance, with their beautiful singing, entertaining dances and even a catwalk dressed in Samoan and Tongan cultural and traditional outfits. My class, executed a wonderful, Pacific song called 'How Far I'll Go' from the movie Moana. All performances were astonishing, starting from Room 1 and ending in Room 12.

One of my favourite acts, was Room 6's catwalk because it wasn't only amusing, it was also unique and different from the other classes. After watching every classes' item, I really think that the parents will be keen on coming to our school to watch our performances.

Room 1 - performed a 'Samoan Sasa'
Room 5 - sang 'Le Aute'
Room 6 - modelled a 'Catwalk'
Room 7 - danced to 'Coconut Tree'
Room 9 - sang 'Little Birdey'
Room 10 - executed a nice song, 'E Otua'
Room 12 - sang 'How Far I'll Go'

🎤 The New 'Lip Sync Battle' Champions! 🎤

I have never witnessed an assembly so fascinating and exciting as the one I had seen on Monday (08/05/17). There were entertaining dancing, award-winning students and even hosts that were loud and clear. On Monday, the syndicate assembly was spectacular.

Room 12 were the hosts, and Rooms 11, 10 and 9 were the audience as well as their teachers. We had another lip sync battle and this time, Room 11 (The former L.S.B champions) were defending their prestigious title against the other classes.

Here were the contestants:
Room 9 - Jacob and Diego (Options)
Room 10 - Dominic and Peni (Let It Go)
Room 11 - Meafou and Vika (Rolex)
Room 12 - Mika and Lupe (Rolex)

The winners and new Lip Sync Battle Champions were Dominic and Peni from Room 10. Their performance and effort was super entertaining and they should be proud of themselves. The belt was passed to Room 10.

Duffy Show!!

Today, the whole school watched an amazing and entertaining Duffy Assembly. It all happened at 11:00 am after morning tea play was finished. Every class lined up in their rooms and started walking to the multi-purpose room.

Unfortunately, after the bell rang, I had to quickly rush to the staff room for tea-duties with Lupe. After we finished, we ran to the multi-purpose room to join the rest of the school and watch the show.

The show was about a super hero Global Girl who is a weather girl but also has dyslexia. She can't read so when she tries to change the weather, it turns into a disaster. Suddenly she lands on a different planet.

On Planet Earth, she meets a young boy, Duffy  who loves to read.  She asks him to help her on a mission to save the weather. He travels with her to different countries such as Australia, Tokelau and Africa.

Soon after they finish their missions, Duffy helps her to read because she didn't learn to do this in school.

It was pretty funny, but most of the time I could either not see because I was at the back, or couldn't hear because the juniors were screaming. Other than that, I liked the show because the actors were very loud and clear.

That show was one of my favourites from the last year ones.

First Senior Syndicate Assembly For 2017!!! 😁

On Tuesday 7th February 2017, was the first ever Senior Syndicate Assembly of 2017.

Room 12 (My Class) hosted the assembly and it was amazing and entertaining. Firstly, Lupe introduced everyone to our assembly and welcomed Ms Riley because it was her first ever assembly with the senior block.

After a couple of lines from the students in Room 12, we sang our first song called 'Be Happy' by Velody. After that song, Lupe presented the certificates for people who did better than before. Vaimoana and Timote received the certificates in our class.

After the certificates were handed out to the students who were better than before, Azahar called on the dancers from each class to dance to their selected songs. Soon after this, Room 9 danced to 'Juju On That Beat.' 

Next, Rooms 10 and 11 danced to the same song as Room 9. Lastly, Room 12 danced to 'Hit The Quan.' Finally, we sang another song called 'Lean On Me.'

It was a great assembly to start the year off. 

Room 9's Senior Syndicate Assembly

On Monday, Room 9 hosted an amazing, unexpected Senior Syndicate Assembly. 

Their whole class participated in the assembly by each saying a line. Luckily, they all remembered them, but my favourite part of the assembly was the "Juju On That Beat" challenge. 

Three students from Rooms 9, 10, 11 and 12 had to dance to the song Juju On That Beat.

It was hilarious watching my friend Mika dance. Everyone enjoyed watching each class dance, even the teachers were laughing.

In the end, Room 12 won the competition and we celebrated by walking to class like role-models.

Room 12 Assembly

On Monday, Room 12 hosted the first Senior Syndicate Assembly for Term 2. In our assembly we made a game show and called it Class Feud. The game was based on the T.V show Family Feud. The contestants had to guess the answers to some questions. Room 9 won the game.

Then some students received a certificate for good learning in class. We also sang songs like Am I Wrong by Niko and Vinz and Hello by Adele. 

Our Assembly was lots of fun.

Room 9 Assembly

On Monday it was Room Nine's turn to host an assembly. That was the first time that Room Nine had hosted an assembly this year. We sang songs like Count On Me by Bruno Mars and Flashlight by Jessie J. Also two people from each class had to contribute in a quiz about ANZAC. Room 12 won the quiz and received a laminated trophy. After the quiz, the teachers handed out some certificates. One for A grade homework, and one for learning in Class. I'm looking forward to another syndicate assembly next term.

Senior Syndicate Assembly

Last week on Monday, the seniors of Ruapotaka School, had a syndicate assembly after lunchtime. Miss Misela, the Room 9 teacher, had her first senior syndicate assembly that day. My class Room 12 hosted the assembly. We sang songs like Be Happy by Velody, Roar by Katy Perry and Little Me by Little Mix. We also entertained the students from the seniors with a Celebrity Show. What a great way to kick of the week.

Duffy Theatre 2016

Three days ago after interval, Ruapotaka School had another Duffy Show. It was special because it was the first ever Duffy Show for 2016. My favourite part was singing the Duffy Song.
