👍Soccer Interschools😃

Last week on Wednesday some students went off to represent our school for the soccer inter schools.  We played against Panmure District first and we won our game, but apparently we lost all of our other games. We still held our heads high even though we lost most of our games.

Matches Of The Games:
Panmure District- Ruapotaka School
Glen Taylor- Ruapotaka School
Stone fields-Ruapotaka School
Tamaki Primary-Ruapotaka School
Panmure Bridge-Ruapotaka School
Panmure District Team 2- Ruapotaka School

😁 "Hip Hop" 🙌

Today we had hip hop with a dance instructor. Her name was Jess. 

We had to learn some basic moves before we moved on to the harder moves(for me that is). It was quite difficult, because there were times when I could not do the moves. I tried my best though!

The choreography, which was created by Jess had these amazing, sensational moves. I was pretty puffed out and tired at the end of the session! Would I do this again? Maybe I will,  maybe I won't!

Road Safety

For the past two weeks we have been learning about road safety. 

We have been divided into 5 groups. We've been collaborating with each other and helping one another. My group and I created a slideshow to tell people how to be safe on the road!

Tips:

1. Always keep your belt on and phone off

2. Don't go over the "Speed Limits"

3. Cross using the pedestrian crossings near by!

Also make sure to always focus on the road before doing anything else!

Daily Fitness

This week Rooms 9, 10 and 12 are doing running for fitness every morning. When we started, I was really confused and annoyed at the same time. I was jogging with my buddy Vika. We had to run for 10 minutes around the senior block. Lastly when I was finished, I had to breathe through my nose and out of my mouth. What I mostly need to work on is sustaining my pace.

💧The Storm In Rotorua 😌

In Rotorua there was a big storm. Lots of rain and floods damaged about 30 houses. It was quite critical. 

The next day, rain was constantly coming down through in the night time. Luckily lots of people were moved and evacuated from the areas to safety from this awful weather!

This week I feel very satisfied because,  it's the last week of term 1!  I've been expecting this to happen because the holidays are coming up. Countless learning has been going on and I need a break from all of this schoolwork. Next term I'll be back from the holidays and ready to learn more!

😁👍Commonwealth Games ( Cycle Race Against England )😁👍

Outstanding teamwork from the New Zealand cycle team. They've worked pleasingly well with each other throughout the game. After playing against England, they've surprisingly received first place. The last Commonwealth Games they received first place as well.
