Poetry Recital

Hearing repeated paragraphs and pens tapping on paper was different for the past few days but it was for our Poetry Recital. The whole of Ruapotaka School had to find or make up their own poem to say in front of their parents and school. Sadly only 3 people were able to be chosen to do it. A few days past and Mrs Golder chose the three lucky people and I was one of them. I was so nervous to stand in front of heaps of people but finally it's over.

Skipping Display

A few weeks ago Room 12 started practicing their own skipping display. We were all split up in groups. Weeks passed and we were all ready with our display. Jumping and skipping was so tiring. It was so fun during our skipping display because we got to play some music while skipping. Luckily we got through it all.

Special Award

While all the Ruapotaka students were sitting in the Duffy assembly, Mrs Pederson requested  all the teachers to choose a hard working student from their class to receive an award (a book and a certificate). As I was trying to get comfortable sitting on the ground, Mrs Golder chose me. I was so happy, I felt like I was a model walking up! Hopefully I get more awards throughout the year. (I was the only one looking at Mrs Golder's camera).

Netball Tournament

Last week on Wednesday, our school netball team went to the AMI Netball Courts to proudly represent Ruapotaka School. Running from side to side, throwing the ball to our teammates and shooting the ball in the hoop were fun but tiring at the same time. After a lot of rounds of games, the netball tournament was finally finished. We were good enough to be placed third and came back to school happy!
