My opinion of the flag

I think that the New Zealand flag looks too much like the Australian flag. So I wanted the New Zealand flag to be the new one. That is my opinion about the New Zealand flag.

Profile 2016

Hello everyone! My name is Zion and my age is ten years old. My school is Ruapotaka School. My teacher's name is Mrs Buchanan and my principal's name is Mrs Vickers.

I am mostly good at maths. My learning goal is to better than before at my maths. I have learnt all my times tables and I am working on decimals.

I like playing with the basketball at school. My favourite food that I like is butter chicken. My favourite game is Dragon City.

We are learning about...

We were learning about how plants grow and seeds sprout. We grew cress and sprouted broad beans in class. We watched how water moves through plants by putting celery in coloured water.

This is how my cress changed over time.

Our snagit

This is my first screencast I made with Sione. It talks about a movie we liked in the Film Festival.

We are learning to write ...

My recount about our movie

When we made our movie, it was on the field and we made it around August. Everybody was included in our movie for the film festival and this is the story of how we made our movie. We all had jobs for different letters that are in Ruapotaka. My job was the letter U with Henry. We had to blue tack blocks onto rulers to form the the letter U. Once our letter was formed we took it outside and other letters came out. Also I was a part of the tech crew so that means I got to film too. Once all letters were out our movie was nearly finished. The last bit was to shout out Ruapotaka and our movie was finished. I felt proud I was in the movie and I was very happy being tech crew.

8th Film Festival

It was the 8th Film Festival and Ruapotaka had made their first movies. The classes were Room 9 and Room 10. It was amazing with lots of movies that we enjoyed. My favourite movies were The Force and Manaiakalani Man. On the buses it wasn’t very exciting but I enjoyed the film festival!
