Farewell Friends From Taiwan😭😢😭😢

Last week Monday 2 specials visitors from Taiwan they  were 2 young boys and there teacher had left Ruapotaka School to go back to their home town, Taiwan. They'd stayed with us at Ruapotaka School for a whole 7 days. Most parts were funny and some parts were sad. They went to all the classes and met many different students and teachers.

The prefects gave them presents which was a Ruapotaka School notebook, a glass koru and 2 pens.

It was very sad to see them go but we wish to see them in the future.

Running To Much 💦😅😰

One day Ruapotaka had their school cross country.

It started with the year 1 then ended with the year 7 and 8.

When I was running I was running out of breathe so I walked the jogged then walked again.

When I ran over the finish line I was so happy because I didn't have to run again.

Maori Myths and Legends

On Thursday a group of six people told every student at Ruapotaka School different Maori Myths and Legends. Instead of sitting and telling the myth or legend they performed it.

It was a great show because of the enthusiasm they show and all of the jokes they said.

The best part of the show
for me was when 2 men and 2 young boys demonstrated how you'd use a taiaha when fighting in war with Maori people.
