Ruapotaka's Athletics Day

Tuesday morning was hot and sunny. Athletics day was just a corner away, and everyone had tried their very best to become a super rapid athlete. As the day went on everyone was warmed up and ready to commence. 'GO!' Mrs Peterson shouts for all the runners to begin the race. Throughout the races, everyone had gained energy, and some had lost energy. When it was time for the year 8's to run, I switched on to focus mode. As soon as Mrs Peterson said, "Go!" I accelerated my speed at the beginning therefore I ended up receiving 1st place for 100 metre sprint. I'm super proud of myself!!

Film Festival

On Wednesday, the Manaiakalani Schools advanced to the Hoyts Cinemas at Sylvia Park. Mrs Peterson had divided Room 12 students to sit with a Room 1 student. As soon we arrived there, we proceeded to the Cinemas. Once we got up to the stairs we walked to Cinema 3 and found a little area for Ruapotaka School. Our movie came up next as St Pius was finishing up their movie, as it commenced, I was very proud to have our movie seen by other Manaiakalani schools.

Everyone's movies was so AMAZING!! but apparently our movie was rated as the top movie created for the Manaiakalani Movie Festival 2017. When we got back to school we had some positive feedback from bus drivers and teachers.

Otahuhu Parade!!

On Tuesday, Otahuhu town centre was full of Tongan flags. Most of the parents climbed on cars and commenced to dance. Later on into the evening some Samoan cars showed up out of nowhere. Most of the Tongans surrounded the Samoan flag and then they started celebrating together. Once the Tongans had moved out off the way, all the Tongans pushed and shoved the car. Anyways, after the Tongans had finished their session with the Samoan car, the Tongans started running up and down the road like horses. A few hours later the Tongans decided that they were tired from all their dancing so they travelled back home and had a rest.
