Celebrations Project

Three weeks ago Room 12 had to do a topic study about Celebrations. In our project we had to have a clear diagram, illustrations, subheadings and interesting information with labels that show the important features of our topic. Maranatha and I worked together as a team to complete our learning. Our topic is based on Tonga. It took us a lot of hard work and patience to get this done. We had to stay focused and get it done before the day it was suppose to be handed in. After all that researching and staying focused, we finally have accomplished our goal.  

Collaborative Writing

Last week Rooms 11 and 12 did collaborative writing. We had to write a description about a picture of a chimpanzee with a mirror. At first it was easy until we got told to work in groups. Now that's when it got hard! Having to put everyone's ideas into one story was difficult especially when we all had totally opposite ideas! But we worked as a team to make our story good and at the end of the day it worked. It was hard working with Room 11 but we enjoyed it.

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2016

One week ago on the 9th of November most of Ruapotaka School students went by bus to Sylvia Park to watch the Manaiakalani Films for 2016. It was sad to see some students stay behind because of their behavior towards our teachers and classmates. When we arrived there six students including Maranatha and I had to speed walk inside the Cinema to find our seats. Maranatha and I were presenting an amazing film called " The Focuser " that half of our class made. Our film is related to our Olympics Inquiry learning we did back in Term 3. Check it out!

There's No Teacher?

Walking into class on Monday last week finding out that Mrs Golder was not there was very awkward. " Where's Mrs Golder? Who's our teacher? No school? " These questions were running through my mind at that very moment. Waiting till 8:55am in the morning for our teacher to arrive and still no teacher came! Then finally we got a note from another student in Room 11 that she was absent. After all that time waiting and investigating for our teacher was a waste of time!

Algebra Test

Today after morning tea we had an Algebra test to sit. Time was ticking, Mrs Golder was crossing out the times on the whiteboard I felt sweats coming down my face. I get nervous when I don't get nervous I always end up having a wonderful time. Lets just hope that I get a good mark!
