Athletics day at Ruapotaka School

Athletics has been past and im sitting here happy and nervous free. On athletics day the years 1-8 ran on the track and the fastest people did relays. The year 8s and 7s ran 200m and 800m pheww!. It was such a exhausting day. Tired legs and a dry throat. I ran 3 of them and came 3rd. I was proud of myself. It was such a hot burning day.  Here are some photos.

Room 12's Film

Room 12 made a fantastic and fun video on some advice and tips on rugby. The film was called rugby values. Everyone participated in the film. It took a lot of filming and editing. I enjoyed acting. The film was also played at the Hoyts Sylvia park cinema. I had two little kids to look after. I had to take care of them, so that we couldn't lose anyone. I enjoyed acting as a coach/referee.  

🔥🎆GUY FAWKES🎆🔥

Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes was born and educated in York. Guy Fawkes day is a day where everyone spends a heap of money on expensive fireworks and sparklers. They light it up at night time it shoots in the sky at night.🌃

🍬🙈My Halloween Night!🙈🍬

Yesterday after school i ran home quickly full of happiness. As i arrived home my mother was in the lounge waiting for us to arrive. As i came up to the drive way i saw my mum ready with all the carved pumpkin baskets, costumes and candy! As i went inside my little siblings changed in to their costumes. My sisters was a bat and a snow white. I got changed into black widow. Then we went to my cousins house and whited for them. There was a lot of costumes such as ninja, a nun, watermelon and a prisoner. I went to two Halloween night parties. The parties were named trunk n treat and another party at my cousins friends house. It was crowded with people in a tiny backyard. I had so much FUN!😉😌💜

Sunday Afternoon

Last week Sunday was a very special occasion for the people who go to church. This special religious occasion was White Sunday. It basically means everyone has to wear white to church. In some churches kids age 3 years old-11 year old  present their presentations in their white beautiful dresses.

 At White Sunday there were group singing and solo singers. The occasion took 2 hours. It was held at a Mormon Chapel on Taniwha Street. After the presentations were finish the kids and youth went into a room where we could eat and have a big feast. 

The kids had finger foods like hot chips, sausages, nuggets, drinks, fruit pops, fruit sticks and heaps more. My family friends and member had a umu. In the umu it included chicken, lamb, pork, Lu, yams, corn, chop suey and more.
