Duffy assembly

On Monday we had assembly at the multipurpose room.

We had a special Duffy assembly. The principle called for the hard working students to receive a book and a certificate.

Later on, we sang the New Zealand National Anthem. The prefects also mentioned how Ruapotaka students act towards one another. 

A Huge storm!

On Tuesday I was watching the news. I saw that Auckland was going to be hit by a huge storm so I prepared myself. A few hours later there was an enormous storm. I was terrified because I thought that something could have happened. A tree could have fallen on my house or the roof might have flown off so I snuggled in a fluffy blanket to keep me warm and relaxed.

 As I was watching TV I heard a buzz. Then lights went out. The television switched off automatically because there was a power outage. Suddenly, I heard weird banging noises coming from my balcony so I went upstairs, hopped into my bed and fell off to sleep.

Graphics !!

Last week on Wednesday we had Technicraft. We  had to  observe   our teacher when he was talking, so that we could learn how to write our names creatively by drawing it in an artistic way. After everyone opened their chromebooks we to  had to research various designs and we received a blank piece of paper to do our task. When I had finished my design I had to colour it in. I coloured it in with multiple bright colours and showed it to the teacher.
We did our learnibg  with another school called Saint Pius, we were in Graphics with Mr. Penida.
