Scariest Time Of My Life

On Saturday me and my dad went to a place called the Spookers 10 Years Of Scare, it was very far from Auckland, it took us about two hour to get there. Finally after all that driving me and my dad had arrived at the Spooker. I was extremely scared when I was in front of the haunted hospital. I wanted to go back home but my dad said, ''No.'' so we stayed. There were two people who were came with me and told my dad that me and my dad should go to the haunted hospital. My dad was the first one to go in the hospital, then we all followed because the security said that my dad had to be the leader. That was the scariest day of my life.

Syndicate Assembly Room 12

Last week on Monday it was our turn to be the host for the syndicate assembly. So what we did was an activity called, 'Class Feud'. some of the answer were easy and some of them was not. It was funny when people randomly said the wrong answer. When half of our assembly was over and it was time for certificates and Samuel and Anavea had received a certificate from Mrs Golder, for being responsible and for having good manners. Lastly our assembly had come to an end and it was time to go back to class and start learning again.

Worst Holiday Ever

September 16 was the last day of term 3 and the holiday had began. My holiday was boring because we had to stay home for the whole holidays and the only thing we can do was help my mum and watch television. that's it. Luckily my dad was so kind that he took to a place called Ice Skating. It was very hard learning how to skate. It took me about two hours to learn. We came back home at 10:30 pm. That was the best day of my two weeks holiday.





WORST HOLIDAY EVER!!!

Trip To Botanic Garden

Today the whole Ruapotaka School went to a very beautiful place called the Botanic Gardens.

The Gardens is about native plants and the environment like pond, flower, rocks and trees. It was pretty fun but the only thing I didn't like was the hot sun.

It was too sunny that I felt like drinking a whole bottle of water.

My favourite part was when we had to go in the forest. It was shady and it was nice and cold in the forest because of the trees. That's why the forest was my favourite place to visit.

Cross country certificate

On Wednesday the whole senior block had to go to the library for a syndicate assembly. The assembly was for the people who came first, second and third in cross country. When I was walking to the library I thought we were going to get in trouble. Eight People from Room 12 had came first, second and third. 

Tamaki Primary

Last week Ruapotaka school had to visit Tamaki primary because the asbestos people had to fix our roof and it's dangerous for the kid. We went to Tamaki Primary with the bus in the morning. When we get there the kapahaka group represent a dance call Powhiri. We had to stay at Tamaki Primary untill end of the week. Hopefully our school will be ready for us next week.

Mini Olympic

After morning tea the whole senior block had to line up in front of Room 11 with our mini Olympic group. The country I was put in was New Zealand and in my group I had Pepe, Kotitpi, and Isabella. Then all the teams had to stand up and follow a teacher with our flag.

Room 12 Syndicate Assembly

On Monday Room 12 hosted the syndicate assembly. Rachel from the Winter  Learning Journey came to our school for prize giving. Whoever participated in the Winter Learning Journey received a certificate. Whoever came first or second or third won a special prize for example a rugby ball and a basketball.   

Anzac Ceremony

On the last day of Term One, after lunch we had an Anzac Ceremony at our school for the soldiers that went to war for us to live. At the Ceremony people read some poems and some people talked about the soldiers.

After all those poems and talking, we all had to stand up and sing the National Anthem.

When we finished the Anzac Ceremony, we all had to go back to our classroom because the bell was going to ring and we all had to go home. Then one minute later the bell rang.  It is time for us to go home and enjoy our holiday so we all said good bye and we went home happily.

Buddy Reading With Room 7

Last week on Wednesday afternoon Room 12 had to get ready for buddy reading with Room 7. We have to choose a book so we can read it to them and I chose a book call Matariki. Matariki is about the Seven Sisters or stars that come out on Maori New Year. All of a sudden Room 7 was in front of our classroom door waiting for us.  So our teacher let them in. Room 7 have to get a buddy from Room 12 and someone picked me so I have to read to them. After we all finished Mrs Golder and Ms Riley told us to pack up and get our bag because the bell was  going to ring. Then the bell rsng so we all went home.

Special Assembly

Last week on Thursday, a special person from Vector came to our school and her name was Esther. She talked to us about electronics and windmills.

She showed us her cardboard helicopter that moves when the sun is shining on it or put a flash light on it. After that she asked some questions and gave some stickers if we got the answer right. Then she talked to us about how much electricity that we are using in our house or any where else.

At the end she showed us her electronic car. It was so awesome the car can move by  itself under a sun or under a flashlight. My favourite thing was the electronic car but the helicopter wasn't bad.

Lunch Time Sport

On Monday Room 12 and Room 11 had sport with Mrs Shortland at lunch time. In my team I had Matali, Haliano, Jack Daniel, Pepe, Mele and I forgot the rest. It was fun until I fell down. We won by four points and when Mrs Shortland went back to the staffroom,  all of us argued.

School Holiday

In the School holidays me and my family went to Rangitoto Island. We got there on a ferry and it took us 25mins. On the way to Rangitoto Island I saw some dolphins jumping around. 25min later we had arrived. It was a long walk to get to the top of the Rangitoto mountain. When we got there I saw a big hole full of rocks. We stayed there for one hour then we all had to come back home.
