Chicken Wraps-By Agueer

Last week our cooking group made chicken wraps, and since barely anyone was there we each had our own stations to work at. That was coolWe used some varieties of vegetables, a bit of chicken, mayonnaise and added sweet chili sauce if we wanted to. It was a little challenging to make it into a wrap but once we listened to Mrs Tuipulotu properly we were able to do it.

Kiwi Can Week 1 by Agueer

Today our class had a lesson with Kiwi Can. Our class had a small introduction from the tutors, Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac and then they explained the rules to us.

First we discussed what the rules were and what the word integrity meant. Our topic for the next three weeks is honesty. So we will be focusing on telling the truth and not lying.

We then played three games: bang, changes and GKQ. GKQ is another way of saying General Knowledge Questions.

We ended with a small clap to say, "Thank you." to the people who came and gave us a lesson.

Sweet And Sour Pork by Agueer

Sweet and sour pork was on the menu for today.

This week Faye and I collaborated and prepared a small  but delicious dish. It was a very vibrant mix of vegetables and some juicy pork. 

The sauce  had some soy sauce to golden the colour and pineapple to sweeten it up a bit more.

Overall I think this dish was one of my favorites that we have made in cooking class. 

The Year 7's Host The Syndicate Assembly 2019! -By Limiteti

Last Monday the year 7's from Room 12 hosted the syndicate assembly. I was very nervous because I had no idea how to produce a syndicate assembly but I wanted to take part of it. In the assembly my part was telling the prefects to come up to do their job. 

Well done to Kotipi and Madisyn for receiving a certificate for their hard working in class. In the end I was proud of the syndicate assembly that the year 7's worked together on!

Who's The Head Prefect? by Jessica

Last year we had to say goodbye to the year 8 Prefects. It was sad to see them go.

A new year has begun and new Prefects have been selected. Working alongside me this year we have, Madisyn, Agueer, Frank, Sione and of course, Riiana and Leanah. It turns out that I was chosen to be Head Prefect.

Many know me as Jessica or Jess. I am 12 years old turning 13. I have a humorous love for art and sleeping.

As the head prefect I am expected to be a positive role model. Someone who always tells the truth, someone who has manners and someone who is inspiring or encouraging but honestly, the list could go on forever.

Knowing that a lot of students and the teachers can trust me and support me through out my last year in intermediate makes me happy. This year is going to be one of my wildest. My parents want me to get into a good college with benefits of a great future. Right now I could care less about college because all I need to worry about is where I'm at now. Pushing myself until I can't, working my bottom off until I'm satisfied with my results. My current goal is to be better than before. A phrase that's been by my side ever since I started at Ruapotaka, will stay with me until I'm satisfied and need a well deserved break. Until that day comes I'll be working hard.

Who Won? by Riiana

Friday last week was originally supposed to be the skip off but the rain had other plans. We were lucky enough to get all the Rooms displays done. Since we weren't able to do the skip off, we seniors did it on Monday which replaced fitness.

Congratulations to Agueer, Pupuke and Kotipi for placing in the Top 3!

If you'd like to see how it went down, here's the clip.
