Tapa Cloth During

                                     What did we do for art ?
For art we drew a Tapa cloth to create the patterns of Tonga, we used our imaginary mind to thing what we might do. For my art I dured a big flower in the middle and small flowers in the four corners. Also I did patterns in the outsides of the flower and the outsides of the paper. I used a black pencil to darken the flowers and the out lines so that it can stand out , I also shaded the flowers in so that you could see the darkness more. 

Why did we have to draw a tapa cloth ? 

The reason why we had to draw a tapa cloth because it was Tongan language week.

Skipping

Every afternoons we do skipping practice to get better at it,we practice doing forward skipping, backwards skipping,zigzag forward and zigzag backwards, every each of them we do 10 times first round and 20 times the second round. We have been doing good at those moves lately. After that we go get the long ropes to practice our display with our groups. Each one of our groups will be presenting there display in front of all of the audience. Wednesday 5th June 2017 is when we are going to do our skip off and that is when we are going to present our display with our
groups. 

Having Fun At Sanit Kentigern College

At Saint Kentigern College a part of Ruapotaka students went to play some games. When we got there we had to get splinted into groups. First I was in group 3. I went with 2 girls and 1 boy to start off with. First they said that we had to run around the court so that we can get warmed up, after that we made a small group so that they can discuss what we are going to do for our first official game. So first what we did was play a game called bang then after that we went into a different game. 

Daily Fitness

     

Every morning ,Rooms 9,10,11 and 12 will do daily fitness. Daily fitness is what we do every morning to keep us fit and healthy as we grow older. Our daily fitness is running around the block every day so we can stay fit. Running makes us get use to the cold.

The schools that we were playing against were Glen Taylor , Tamaki Primary, Sylvia Park,  Saint Patricks and Panmure Bridge.

In the finals  we played aganisted Stone fields and we drew against them. So each of the teams that were played spent the rest of the day happy. 
  

Milk Day

Thursday 1st June 2017 is a special day, which is milk day.  Milk is good for kids so that our bones can stay healthy and we can grow taller. Milk helps our health for our bodies. Schools should be grateful when they have milk because, I think it is really great. It is a real pleasure that milk helps us energies us after playing. I feel lucky about having free milk given out to us.
