Kiwi Can Session

Today Ruapotaka School had the opportunity to meet the Kiwi Can Company. Our Kiwi Can tutors for this week were Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac.

We have a theme and topic for each week throughout the term. This week our theme was integrity and our topic was honesty. 

Integrity - Being honest

Honesty - Telling the truth

We did three activities with Kiwi Can. Overall my favourite activity was Changes because I was most honest in that game. I was glad that I had a super time. I had a great experience with Kiwi Can and I can't wait until next week!

Jacinda Ardern And Prince William Visit Christchurch Mosque

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Prince William flew to Christchurch to meet the victims who survived and families. Prince William met about 160 survivors and family members at the Mosque.

Prince William talked about how Christchurch and New Zealand's feedback to the shooting was an example to inspire the world. He thanked the work of emergency staff, especially the police and hospital staff.

Overall it was respectful and kind of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Prince William, to visit the victims and families of the horrifying incident.

Fruit Kebab!

This week at Tech we made fruit kebabs! Creating the fruit kebabs was an easy step to follow because all we had to do was slice all our fruit and insert them onto a stick.

We had to cut the fruits in a particular direction to make it easier to eat from the stick. The fruits were very vibrant so I was full of excitement to eat the fruit kebab.

Tasting the grapes made my mouth sour and juicy. Faye and I did a superb job making the fruit kebabs. I can't wait until we cook next week!

What A Sweet Meal!

Today for cooking class we cooked sweet and sour pork. I was extremely excited to cook this dish because it's something we've never cooked before.

Mixing the colourful vegetables with the pork reminded me of the cooking shows on television. The finishing results made my jaw open wide. I was shook. 

If we hadn't used the pineapple sauce, I don't think our dish would've been delicious!

Food Is Delicious!💛

Today at Tech we cooked chop suey.  I was thrilled to cook chop suey because now I can see what the process my dad has to go through when he cooks it.

The finishing results surprised me because Agueer and I did an amazing job for cooking chop suey for our first time! When I ate the chop suey it fizzled in my mouth, making my mouth very oily. 

Great Work Agueer And Joanlisi!

Room 10 was taking the lead at this week's syndicate assembly. The syndicate assembly was introduced very smoothly which made me even more overjoyed to watch it. First up were the students who have been working hard in their classroom. Well done to Joanlisi and Agueer for receiving a certificate!


Then it was time for the activity. The activity was musical chairs. For this game in particular only the prefects and the teachers had to participate. I was cheering for everyone on stage but mostly for my class. Surprisingly it ended up being Frank winning the game. Good job Frank!

Macaroni & Cheese

It is now week five of Tech at Tamaki College. I have been very excited during cooking classes this term. For cooking class today the year 7's cooked macaroni and cheese.

During the process of cooking the macaroni and cheese, the macaroni was easier than cooking the sauce which was actually really confusing. The results for our macaroni and cheese was rated the cheesiest and best!
