Our Daily Fitness

After a long time of laying down and having a break in the holidays, it is time for students to get their fitness up and running. The senior students of Ruapotaka School have been running around the senior block each morning for the past four days. We run for ten minutes and we have to keep up with  the pace.

 Mrs Golder keeps track of the time while the other teachers go to a specific location to help guide the students. Personally, the two most difficult parts of our fitness routine is keeping up my stamina and going up the big hill.

Back To School

Ruapotaka School has just now began their first week of Term 2, 2018. I am so thrilled to be back and keen to work hard and become better than before at school.

The senior block has inter-school soccer this term, and I'm hoping that we have a wide range of people to participate.

Last year's team was great.We had tied for first place with a school called Stonefields.


I am sure many people have been practicing to see if they can make the team and represent our school.

I'm looking forward to the end of the term to see  who has placed first in our school houses. Last term the house that won was yellow. The students were allowed to go outside and have an extra ten to fifteen minutes of play.

I am also excited to see what class my group and I will go to next in Tech after we complete our cooking classes. Our cooking teacher said that we might have three to four weeks of cooking left before we change to the nest one.

Back To School

The holidays are over and Term three has started. I am so excited to be back at school and keen to learn. First day back and we have started to look back on our learning back in term two to refresh our memory. This term there are lots of things to look forward to like netball, rugby, athletics and cross country. After skipping back in term two we went on a two week holiday. In the holidays I had nothing to do so I registered on the winter learning journey. A blogging program with schools in the Manaiakalani cluster.
