Kayaking !

Today we were lucky to have another opportunity to go to Wero Whitewater Park.

Today's lesson was all about kayaking. When we arrived there we all had to get dressed and then the tutor had to explain how to kayak and use a paddle before we hopped in our own boat. When I was in my boat I felt comfortable and I was ready to go out there to have a lot of fun in the water paddling, getting splashed and falling off the boat.

Today was really fun and I mean really fun, especially getting wet out there and bumping into each others boats. I have experienced and learnt a lot of things (beside kayaking).

I just want to thank the sponsor once again for giving us a second chance to be there.
I hope to go there again if you would allow us.

Wero Whitewater Trip!

Last Friday Room 12 and I went on a trip to Wero Whitewater Park. It was my first time that I've gained knowledge and experienced new things from rafting. 

The best part that made my day was, rafting, swimming around the river and eating.

I just want to say a big thank you to the instructor who took care of my group, 

I had lots of fun and I hope we can organise another trip there.

I really appreciate you guys heaps!

Football Tournament ⚽

Yesterday we had a football tournament at Pt England Reserve. This year there was a year 7&8 girls team competing with the other girls from other schools. Liza and I were strikers and the rest were attackers and defenders. I had fun kicking the ball around and trying to get a goal for our team but especially eating 🤣.

I just want to thank my teammates for trying hard to make our team and our school happy. You girls did a really good job.

KiwiCan 🥰 🙄

Today Room 12 and I had the opportunity to have our first session with Kiwi Can.

 Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac were with us today, and as we know they both work for the KiwiCan company.
Firstly they introduced themselves and explained 5 rules we should benefit from.
They were:
1. Respect others
2. Ask Questions
3. Listen to the speaker
4. Don't be shy give it a try
5. Have fun

They were also talking to us about what these 2 words mean (highlighted in bold down the bottom for you)

Our theme for this term is Integrity = Being honest and strong
Our Topic for this term is Honesty = Being truthful

Next we played 3 different games:
First was = Bang
Second was = Changing Places
Lastly was = GKQ = stands for General Knowledge Questions

I've really enjoyed my first session of KiwiCan and getting to know the 2 tutors that had come today. I hope they had fun with us and keep KiwiCan going at least for a year!

Having Fun with St Kents

Today we had fun playing with St Kent's. We got split into 3 teams and each of the 3 teams went and played with St Kent's. My team played relays, touch and N ball. For N ball my team wore a red bib and the other team just wore their uniform. For me when I played N ball it felt fun, happy and I enjoyed it.

Spending Time With Coach Declan

This is the whole Room 9 having a nice photo with Coach Declan before he leaves for Run, Jump, Throw. When it was the last day we had to practice Shot Put, we had to put a fat and heavy green ball next to our neck and we have to point it to the sky and when Declan say's go then we have to throw it as far as we can. I hope that coach Declan knows that Room 9 learned fun skills for Run, Jump, throw.

The Big Screen

Bula vinaka this is room 9 at the film festival. My favorite part was when I watched the film called Focuser from room 12 at Ruapotaka School and we all enjoyed all the film that we watched. I was so surprised that when I watched Focuser it was so cool and fun to watch and I liked how they made the Focuser drink because I felt like drinking it. One video that stood out for me was Focuser by room 12 from Ruapotaka School.
