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.

Kahurangi - People Of The Pacific .

Kahurangi - People Of The Pacific is a group who every once a year comes and performs at our school. The Kahurangi people are really entertaining and cool. Their  purpose is to express each island and the special dances they have. Samoa, Tahiti, Cook Island, New Zealand and Hawaii were the five visited islands. With a unique dance from that island, the Kahurangi group represents the islands and its dances and culture.

A Good Game !

A few days ago it was the last day of the Olympic Games. Our athletes will be returning home , here in New Zealand. Personally I think that we did extremely well in this year's Olympics in Rio. Lots of athletes won medals and I'm sure that they are proud of themselves . We have won 18 medals in total , which is the most medals New Zealand has won! This is definitely a good achievement. I am extremely proud of all the New Zealand athletes. I am looking forward to the next Olympic Games , but until now we will settle down with this great achievement .

The Olympics Have Started

Just a few days ago the Olympic Games  finally started! Athletes and competitors from around the world have been training and waiting for a long time for this significant event that only happens every four years. I'm actually really excited and I hope New Zealand will win lots of medals this year!  And I know we will because we took a good team to Rio De Janiero, Brazil. All the best to New Zealand!

Back At It With The Snag Gold?

Today we played Snag Golf in the multipurpose room! It was a bit different from the last time we played? But it was extremely fun. We also had a new coach because our other one wasn't feeling good. I guess the new coach was alright?
