Tests.

This Term is all about tests! Ohno what more could I worry about? Tests are really something that can make you nervous. Lucky for my class, our teacher has prepared us for all the tests that will be happening. So really I have nothing to worry about at all. We have already sat our writing test, which for me went well. Next to come is Maths! Something I'm not good at. But I know enough, let's just hope my enough will help me pass!

The Beautiful Botanic Gardens 🌹

Today my whole school was lucky enough to spend a few hours at the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Lucky for us it was a nice sunny day & every flower,garden & plant seemed to be growing bright in the spring season. With our topic being about 'plants' I definitely learnt heaps! 

Overall I had so much fun at the Botanic Gardens & I definitely hope to go again.

Skipping Display .

Yesterday we had our skipping display. Excited but nervous at the same time. I knew that our skipping display was the best, especially our music 'Romeo' it suited with what we were doing. To be honest everything went well. It was a surprise because we didn't have much time to practice! Good job Room12.

Cross Country

Yesterday was cross country and I'm proud of my friends! It was very tiring but we all manged to get through the race without any problems. I didn't come 1st, 2nd or 3rd. But it's ok, because cross country is something that I'm not good at. The good thing was that I didn't give up, and I'm happy that I got it over done with! Pheww!

Hi Tamaki Primary , Bye Ruapotaka !

Last week, for about four days we had been going to Tamaki Primary to learn. Our school was recently shut down for a few days because of a fibre called Asbestos. It needed to be cleaned, and we had to be gone for our own safety. It was really strange learning in a different environment in a different classroom. Everything was so "disorganized" as my teacher was saying, we were living day by day.

Something I enjoyed about Tamaki Primary was seeing all my friends. Too bad we weren't allowed to have any contact with them.

Overall my experience at Tamaki Primary was great! I had fun and I'm sure my classmates did too. It is also good to be back at Ruapotaka, in our normal learning programme! Thanks Tamaki Primary for having us!

Chess !

The other day I learnt to play chess properly. I actually had no idea what to do? I didn't know where the chess pieces went and how they moved. I don't really like chess, it was too complicated and confusing but I still enjoyed playing it. My partner was Sophie, she already knew how to play, and I didn't. Sophie kept beating me! She was really good at playing chess. Let's just wait until next week ? I might just beat her.

Basketball Training .

On Wednesday we had basketball training. We learnt drills, did warm up games and learnt the rules in basketball . I personally don't like basketball, but for some reason I actually had fun in playing a sport that I don't have much interest in. I can't wait for next Wednesday's basketball training.
