Powhiri

Today is Ruapotaka's first ever school Powhiri.

The Prefects had been chosen to lead and speak of the Powhiri, and sing songs. Saluselo and I have the second two parts out of the whole thing, Riiana  will start of with a gathering speech, than Saluselo will say his part.

Mr Reid will then go on from there and I hope it will all run smoothly.

End Of Hip Hop

Last week Friday was the last of our hip hop session with our coach Jess. Rooms 12, 10, 9, 6, 5 and 1 all had the opportunity to dance and learn from her.

Hip Hop Choreographing

Today, at hip hop, Jess had come in once again to help teach us about the life of hip hop and what it means.

This week Room 12 had seperated into four groups of six and our task was to make and create a dance with our own unique twist and skills on it. In my group, there are Alex, Katrina, Liza and Izabella. We all had a part to play. Our first move was the Wip, with a little flick at the end.

 Afterwards my group and I kept on building on after that.

Graphics At Tech

Today was our second session at Tech with Mr Pineda in our graphics class.

I was so excited to finish off my art work that I started last week. We had to draw our name using creative lettering and patterning. Our class had received a huge surprise in the middle of our session, a group of students from Tamaki College came in and did art with us.

I have nearly completed my art work and I'm just up to my last name.

 

Login Protection

Almost everyday people login into numerous devices that they use, and at libraries etc. I personally love going to the library and logging in and doing my work, but many people that go and login and do what they have to do, they usually forget to log out. Which is why I'm here to remind you to always log out of devices that you do not own. If you do not log out  people can do mean things to you that you do not know. 

Hip Hop Class With Our Coach Jess

Today was the first session of many in our hip hop group for Room 12. We have gatherings every Tuesday at 11:55pm. We have a couch named Jess.

The moves that she taught us were quite confusing, but we tried our best. The very first thing we had done was a warm up, she had explained  the difference between stretching and dance warm ups.

I was not that keen at the moves she was teaching, but later on I got the hang of it.

Making Burgers At Tech

Today was the last cooking session for group A. For the last week we have made some Egg Burgers.

My buddy Alex and I, first had to get out our white chopping board and then listen carefully. We also had to get out our baking tray, and put our buns on it, then put them in the oven. We had to set our oven to 180c, when that task was complete, we had to pull out our frying pan and put two eggs and fry them, once they were done we had to put them onto our white chopping board. We then had to get our tomato, onion, lettuce and slice and dice all ingredients equally. Once that was done, our buns had been transformed into a nice brown and golden color.

We then had to assemble all our ingredients and put them together. Just a quick tip, don't cook your eggs with to much oil, trust me.
