My Ball! by Jessica

Everyday, aside from Wednesday, Room 12 does daily sport. We play all kinds of sports such as, soccer, touch, softball, netball and (a new addition to our collection) volleyball.

Sadly, my class cannot play volleyball. The reason being that we have too many students. Playing volleyball with everyone in my class when they are present can be catastrophic. 

Volleyball is a game that consists of 12 players with a total of 6 people on each team. My class has 29 students so that's roughly about 14 students on each team.

In general, I've been enjoying playing sports with my class. So far this term we've played softball, touch, soccer and volleyball (but there were quite a few of us away). The majority of us are very energetic and spirited. 

Soccer Team⚽⚽ by Timote

The day has finally come. After all the hard training and exercise, I have finally made it in the Inter-School Soccer Team. Mr Reid has chosen twelve fit, hard working students to join the 2017 Ruapotaka soccer crew.

The reason why some people were chosen was because they had pushed themselves very hard to make it into the team.

Tomorrow morning, the soccer team is going off to Point England Reserve to battle other schools and try and earn their way up to the top. I can't wait for tomorrow!!

No Soccer :( by Pallas

Yesterday was a day that everyone was looking forward to soccer competition! But as a matter of fact it had been postponed because of the weather. Now we have to wait until next Wednesday.  Only hoping that it won't be postponed again. I guess I'll just hope and pray that next week it will be sunny!
