First Day Of Tech

Today for Tech we planned to make useful items made from wood. I am in Mr Grundy's class.

We had to be put into groups, there are three groups. I was placed in group 1. I'm in a group with Mario, Jessica, Frank, Kain, Mary-Ruth, Diego, Caylee and Kate. Before we started constructing wood into useful items we had to sketch our ideas. Two things I sketched were a space car and a tractor.

🌲Christmas Cross-over 🌲

This week Ruapotaka students are having Christmas Crossover every Monday - Thursday until the end of school. 

Christmas Crossover is basically festive activities a teacher has organised. We do saint rings, snowflakes, watch moves and also colouring. 

In each room we have to pair up with a young student to help them. 

Do you like Christmas yes or no?

Meeting Our New Principal

Yesterday we had a Powhiri for our new principal for next year. Our new principal's name is Mrs Hamilton. She looked like a gentle woman.

For the Powhiri we sang songs for Mrs Hamilton and welcomed her to our school.

My Weekend.

My weekend was really interesting because I was staying over with my cousin. My cousin's name is Tom. He is only 9 years old. We played Fortnite, Black Ops and Need For Speed on his PS4. Then, we went outside, there was a little weird boy that would always talk, cry and scream. His name was Brian, It was really annoying.

The next day Brian came over at 6:42 in the morning and he asked Tom and I if we wanting to play and we said "Sorry but, no".  After that, we started playing games and ate breakfast. It was really fun to stay over with my cousin.

Tennis hand ball

On Tuesday Room 12 and I had tennis practice with Coach Pete. We played a game called Volley. The game had 2 players on each side of the net, so 4 players altogether. It was not that simple for me but when I kept playing, it started to get easier.

🕮The Duffy Show🕮

On Tuesday Ruapotaka School had a Duffy show. The Duffy show was interesting because, it had bits where they were in the real world and suddenly transferred into the book realm, a Halloween themed book.

The Duffy show was really great to watch. It was like a movie to me and I think other students thought it was a movie too. These actresses are really great at preforming in front of a crowd!
