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. 

The Woodlyn show

I trooped inside the old farm doors.

Yeah!

I’ve been waiting to go to this show for ages and now we are finally here.

I sit down in the old worn out chair and wait for the show to begin. I’m very excited.

Billy runs on stage. He’s wearing an old country hat and some red bands and looks like an old country bloke.

“Good morning!” he yells and gets into it straight away.

The first thing he does is talk about what people had to doto set up farms a long time ago. It was very interesting. He talked about the tools and about the way they worked.

He showed us how they cut down the trees to make way for the farmlands.

Billy cut into a tree with his axe and then rammed the wedge into the tree and climbed onto it.

I was a little scared that it would break but he was a professional. Billy grabs the next wedge and rams it into the tree while still standing on the first wedge and with a big leap he was on the next ledge. Now he was near the top of the tree with has axe. He started to cut the tree and then he said that his axe was very slippery. Suddenly his axe hurtles towards us from the top of the tree. Luckily it was just a foam axe from behind the tree. Jason who was sitting beside me, let out a scream and I laughed it was hilarious!

That was my absolute favourite thing of the show and of the whole camp.

To finish it off he puts gun power in a metal tube and throws it on the ground and with a giant KABOOM! The show finishes with a bang!

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.
