Rippa Rugby

Recently, most of Room 10 have been involved with playing in the Hastings Rippa Rugby competitions. Some of us were in the Year 7-8 competition winning C team. Our B team were 2nd and our A team were 5th. Here is footage of some of us playing. 

Camp Waitomo

My highlight at Waitomo was when we went into the caves at Stubbs Farm. It was the best time of the whole week at camp. Especially when we had to get all muddy, that was the best part of caving even though the water was cold and all that. But it was worth it because once I saw the glow worms it just blew me away. Once I saw the glow worms for my very fist time I thought it looked like the night sky and that it was a very good memory to remember. Getting all muddy, well I thought that it was fun because that meant I got to have a shower. The showers I went to were the best because they were all the right temperature for me. But there was a very particular cave that really caught my eye and that was the Ruakuri Cave which means Two dog cave. It was the best because you had the spiral walkway with the lights on the side of it. In the middle of the spiral was a huge rock and it had water coming down on top of it. There was a test where we had to look like a stalagmite, a stalactite and as a glow worm. It was fun but also was the part when we got to walk in the dark while holding the bar. I felt really scared but it was fun. And that was my highlight at camp.

Visiting the Hastings Art Gallery

On Wednesday 19th June Room 10 visited the Hastings Public Library. Once we had found some books we went next door to the Art Gallery. We checked out the display celebrating Radio New Zealand. Weta workshops (who are involved with The Hobbit Movies) had made some cool looking radios. Here we are standing beside our favourite designs.

Year 7 Camp at Waitomo Caves

Last week the Year 7’s visited the Waitomo Caves for their camp. The students have been preparing all year for this and have put in a lot of hard work to get there. Here are some of our video diaries from Day 2. We travelled to Stubbs Farm where we did abseiling, caving and team building activities.
