Athletics

It's Tuesday. I'm ready to go to school. It's athletics day,  the day when all the fast runners of every class in Ruapotaka school run their fastest and try come first, second and third. As I got to school I saw the athletics running tracks mowed on the grass ready for the afternoon. Once it was noon most of the classes sat under the big tree while the other children were waiting to run like crazy.

📽 🎞 Maniakalani Film Festival 📽 🎞

Yesterday on Wednesday 8th of November Ruapotaka school went to the Manaiakalani Film Festival for 2017 in Sylvia Park! Manaiakalani is a yearly event where all schools like Point England  and Glenbrae and other schools make a short film to be screened at  Sylvia Park Hoyts Cinema. Room 12's movie was called Rugby Values, it had very helpful tips. Ruapotaka was on their very best behavior, we were the best school there in my opinion.

📖 Tests 📖

Today 26 October Room 12 all had tests. It was the same test we all did at the start of the year. We all arranged our desks in rows so we don't look at each others' answers. We did a maths test first witch required us to do addition. There were two rows for us to answer and we all had two minutes to finish both rows. At the end we wrote our names at the top and flipped it over. Subtraction was next followed by multiplication and then division. Once the maths test were finished we went on to spelling this required the teacher to dictate the words and this was the final test for the day.
