💥 Graphics With Mr Penieda 💥

Today my group and I were working with Mr Penieda in his graphics class. We were collaborating with Saint Pius X School. 

Our task was to write the letters from our names and to add our own style. We could relate the letters to what we do in our daily life, for example playing sports, netball and touch at school 

Next Wednesday I hope we do some more creativity. I can't wait to draw,  learn and create!

👍This Week's Testing 👍

  Testing, Testing, Testing, we are now heading towards nervousness. Right? As always teachers need to find out how well we are doing in our learning and what we have learnt in the past year. Today we started off with e-asttle writing test. Next we're going to have our writing test. 

😄This Year's First Start Of 2018 😄

The first start of 2018, new start and new goals. Back from the holidays up and ready to learn. This year I am a year 8 student, currently learning new things and helping others. I was pretty happy and upset coming back to school. I wasn't too happy about coming to school but anyways I'm here now. I am really looking forward to what's going to happen this year as a year 8 student. I am very nervous and sad that it is my last year before I go to college.

😔 How This Year Is Coming To An End! 😔

Finally no more tests and no more frustration for these last two weeks. As soon as I thought that this year was coming to an end and how everything has gone by so quickly I really feel depressed and happy at the same time. Half of me feels sad and the other half of me feels happy. I am really looking forward for next year as I am turning into a Year 8. 

😨Tired From Doing Athletics😨

This week we had athletics, I was very scared at first but once I finished my run, all my frustration was gone. We were all training up for it.  All year 7's and year 8's had to do 100, 200, 400 metres. First we had to do 400 m since it was stupendously hard, we had to do two laps around. After that we did 100 metres, it was fun doing that one because all you have to do is just run straight. My legs was pumping constantly, as I was running. The 200 metes was kind of easy and hard because you have to sprint the whole way round. I am pretty happy with myself of what places I came when I was doing athletics. 

😀 My Achievements At Athletics 😀

Today certificates was handed out to the people that tried there best at athletics. I was one of them, I came Second for 100m and Third for 200m. I tried  my best at every single one but I was proud of myself. Even thou it was tough I still believe in myself that I can make in the athletics team.

🎥 Maniakalani Film Festival 🎥

Ruapotaka School was very lucky to go to Sylvia park, because we had an opportunity to be apart of the Maniakalani community. Every schools from the Tamaki area, made a movie for the film festival. Maniakalani is an every year celebration for all schools in this area to make a movie. Our movie was about Rugby Values, it was all about how you can corporate with others and have teamwork with others. We had two people that had confidence from our class that represented our movie who were Vaimoana and Meafou. 

My favourite movie was Tamaki primary, because they had inspirational people that could sing and dance. 

Hope you enjoy our movie  !
