Ruapotaka School Did It Again!

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.

STOP POLLUTING WATER!

Room 12 students were given instructions om  making a Water Pollution Google Presentation. We were instructed to research on the internet so we could get all the help we needed and information.
This is my Google Presentation on Water Pollution:

Painful, Painful

What would happen if you experienced an accident and the injury that came from it took four weeks to heal?

Back when I was seven I was riding my bike in my cousin’s backyard with my cousin and sister.  A few minutes later I fell over and didn’t realize a metal wire hanging out of the fence. What happened next?

Well, the metal wire traveled through my leg and came back out of my skin. Eww! Imagine seeing such an accident. Tears were coming down my cheeks and blood was pouring out of my leg intensely. Three cloths were wrapped over and under my bloody leg. We drove straight to the pharmacy but when we arrived they said, “We can’t fix it here but we can call an ambulance to take you to the hospital.”

Once the ambulance arrived at the destination, my mother and I ran into the hospital so hastily like wild animals barging in.

I was taken to surgery room to get my leg stitched up. Minutes  passed by so fast  and I was back in my hospital room lying on the bed.  While I was in the hospital in my mind I was willingly waiting to go back home.

Dedicated To Ruapotaka Y7/Y8!!

On Friday afternoon, Ruapotaka Y7 and Y8s got one last lesson with Madd Messengers, Petia Wilson and Caroline. They inspired us by telling us that we could aim for our dreams or our ambitions and to be successful. They told us we were unique and that we could become anything we wanted to be if we tried our best.  

This video is a dedicated to Petia Wilson and Caroline, our Madd Messenger tutors:

How To Prevent Electrical Injuries.

What does it mean?

Electrical injuries is a physical reaction that results in an electrical current going through the body which can leave you with scars and burns and it can also lead you to death.

Electrical injuries affect the mind and the body of a person. One way of not getting electrocuted is to wear rubber. This can help you avoid electrocution. The reason why people are getting electrocuted is being forgetful, being careless with the electrical appliances around the school and homes, the lack of caution, water combined with electricity, and live electrical wires.

These can lead to scars, burns, disability, paralyzation, amputation, and it can damage the inside of the human body, and it can also lead you to death. There can only be one way to prevent electrical injuries in homes and in school is to inspect every electrical appliance in the area, replace or repair damaged appliances or put them away in a safe place.

Make sure to read the caution label that comes with your electrical appliances because it is really important for you and family. Protect your kids by using outlet covers to cover the power source. This helps prevent babies and children to go near it.

Safety is as simple as ABC- Always Be Careful      ---Unknown
