Directing and Producing A short film

Every second week the senior classes have the opportunity to host the Senior Syndicate assembly. This week it was our turn. We prepared our assembly earlier. Our class all compared our ideas in groups and we came up with the idea of the Celebrity Show Awards. 

We started as soon as possible so we weren't delayed when it was the day of our performance. All of our ideas we included so all we had to do was start filming. There were many roles in our film that were played really well.

Accepting Our Roles As Lunch Monitors

Just recently some of Ruapotaka's Year 7 and 8 students have taken on the role as lunch and wet day monitors. Every second Monday our School has an assembly where our principal , Mrs Vickers reviews all the things that will be happening and our behavior .

Not long after some notices we were all called up to the front. One by one Mrs Vickers handed our badges out . We were also told the expectations of being a responsible monitor. It is a privilege to be a school monitor for my school. 

5+ A Day

   We spent  a sunny Wednesday afternoon doing tabloids to become familiar with our 5+ a day learning. The activities we played were very enjoyable but there was a catch. Most of our activities had either fruit or vegetables included in them.  My favourite activity was Mr Reid's. His activity was knock the coconut off. I thought is was easy but it was actually really difficult. I'm glad I participated in the 5+ a day challenge.

The New Beginning

School has just begun and everything has changed  from the teachers to my classmates. Sadly some of the original Year Sevens from last year are in a different class to me. I realized that this year I have to focus on my school work since this is my last year in intermediate and I am going to College next year. I can't wait to settle into my new class and get to know my classmates as well as my new teacher Mrs Golder.
