The first race was the 400m race with the year 7 and 8 boys and girls, the next races was on the tracks. It was the junior rooms 1 to 7, after that is was time for the year five and sixes to race the 100m track, not long after the year 7 and 8s, me and Saluselo came to a tie in first place.

Go The Distance

  

This Is Room 12's movie for the 2017 Manaiakalani film festival, this is the tenth annual Film Festival. Meafou and Viomoana were our presenters, and I was so proud of them. There were so many schools and so many movies, my favorite one was helping hands, which was by Room 1 of Ruapotaka School. This movie is about how you can be a rugby champion player.

For the year 7 and 8 boys we are very close to going to the Swim Magic Pools. I am very excited to go and get one hour swimming lessons and learn more about how to swim and learn how to breathe longer under water. Next week Friday we start swimming, all we have to bring is our towel and a extra pear of underpants.
