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!!

Colour Combination ↹

The past week, Room 12 has been focusing on a science experiment including 2 colours on a circle shaped cardboard. Everyone had a 1 metre string and poked 2 holes through the circle. My experiment was a total disaster, because I kept forgetting to place the string in the center of the circle. Finally I have placed my string in the centre point of my circle and while it was spinning, I was trying to observe what was shown on the circle. Later on, while the spinning wheel was spinning, all of a sudden, it broke. 

Ropes! Skipping!

Do you like skipping? Well, in the afternoon Room 12 will go outside with Mr.Reid and Mrs Golder for a skipping period for a couple of minutes. Firstly, we skip 10 times forward and 10 times backwards. Secondly, we skip 10 times forward zigzag and backwards zigzag. Thirdly, we skip 20 times forward and 20 times back. Fourthly, we skip 20 times forward zigzag and 20 times backwards zigzag. Later on we split up into our groups. Me and my group are jumping over 1 rope jump and we're trying to do push ups over the skipping rope.
