Term 1 Week 4 Food Choices (5 + a Day)

5 + A Day Food Choices

Introduction

Are you looking for some food to eat? If you are, maybe you should try eating fruits and vegetables, because it’s healthy and also helps your brain, body and bones. Here are some advice you can take to help you.

Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are quite possibly the most healthiest meal in the world. Vegetables contain phytonutrients that help to stop bacteria and illnesses. All vegetables contain fibre ; some more than others. Fibre decreases the risk of heart infections and cancer. Eat vegetables that contain iron because it extends more blood cells so that oxygen can travel around the body faster.

Fruits

Fruits have carbohydrates which has a lot of energy in it. Carbohydrates have little amounts of fat which is not too bad. Fruits have Vitamin C which assists your health and fights off infection. Carrots have calcium which aids your bones, teeth, nails and hair.

Eat Less Of These Foods

The foods you should eat less are: Fast food, Chocolates, Fizzy drinks and other foods that you think you shouldn’t eat most of the time or at all. These food contain sugar and an awful amount of fat, which is not good for your body and brain so that’s why you shouldn't eat these kinds of foods.

Conclusion

Remember to try and eat your fruits and vegetables daily, especially the people who don’t eat it that often. Remember, if you haven’t tried these foods and really want to, this will change your life.

Going To Tech

Every Wednesday for the last two weeks, the Year sevens and Year eights went to Tech. Tech is when we go to Tamaki College to learn about new things and create some drawings, cooking, modelling etc. 
When I had hopped off the bus I saw a lot of people who used to come to Ruapotaka School. I was in the Graphics Class and my teacher was Mr Pineda. My favourite activity was drawing diagonal lines in boxes and it looked like a flower. In my group are, Mika, Timote, James, Athens, Lupe, Meana,  Azahar and Me.

P.E 4-3-16

Every Friday Room 12 does P.E before lunchtime. For P.E we played Soccer Frisbee where we have to split up in teams and use a Frisbee to shoot in a goal and score. We also played netball with a rubber elephant toy, where the objective of the game is to pass the elephant and score into the goal. To score a point, you have to pass to your team-mates and make your way to the goal. Once your near the goal, you have to wait until one of your team-mates go inside the goal. When one of them is in the goal you have to pass the elephant to one of your team-mates to score. The person holding the elephant cannot move, but only the persons' team-mates.

The third game we played was Basketball. We played with a small basketball, but we could only catch it with one hand.
I'm looking forward to playing another sport this Friday. 

Who am I?

Who am I?

I am a year 7 student at Ruapotaka School. I am 11 years old and my birthday is in December. My teacher is Mrs. Golder.

I have short, black hair. My eye colour is dark brown, but when the sun shines in my eyes they turn light brown. My skin colour is brown. I have average-sized ears and a round head.

My voice is not high, but it’s not low either. It is pretty much in between.

My favourite activities are playing rugby league, reading books, going to the library and eating ice-cream.

My favourite foods are ice-cream, french fries, spicy chicken nuggets, salad and fresh baked cookies.

I love learning new experiences in Room 12.  I hope to be in the same class next year, to challenge my learning.

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.

Tabloids Is Fun

On Wednesday after lunch all of Ruapotaka School had Tabloids. When the bell rang everyone had to go to their classrooms for the roll and after that we walked up to sit under the shelter near the staffroom. It was hard to fit all of us under there but we could all fit. For tabloids my favourite activity was Mr. Reid's one. We had to hit coconuts.
