Weather Bomb!💣

Wild weather including high winds have soaked large parts of the Southern New Zealand. A lot of people are trapped in this horrible weather!

Hopefully this weather doesn't carry on but for now everyone must take shelter and have alot of food and water. In Timaru district, the council says it'll probably take weeks to recover from flood damage.

My Finished Product!

On Wednesday it was our last tech for the year. My group was in graphics with our tutor Mrs Ferguson. We spent the whole term designing and doing research for our juice cartons.

My fake juice carton was called Blueberry Pop. It had a straw on one side, a ingredients tab on the other and a fun maze to do at the back. Unfortunately I couldn't get the back to stick so I taped it on. For me the hot glueing bit was very hard as you had to stick on the sides while it was still hot.

Drawing the barcode was also very difficult as you have to draw and colour in a lot of lines, but it was fun. I had fun making this juice carton and hopefully we get to make more things like this.

Remembrance Of The Erebus Disaster🔥

There was a special ceremony for the families of victims killed in the Mt Erebus disaster. 

The apology mark 40 years since the crash of Air New Zealand Flight TE901 on Mt Erebus in Antarctica in 1979, with the loss of 257 lives. Some people say that this disaster will change New Zealand for ever and probably the airline itself.

Hopefully in the future we have no more disasters like this!

Air NZ Cancels Christmas Flights!✈

Air New Zealand has announced that they have cancelled some of the Christmas flights. They say that the problem is due to maintenance issues with it's Rolls-Royce issues. The recent total of people who will be affected by this is 14,000 New Zealand.

The airline (Air NZ) has been forced to shut down their usual flights from Christchurch to Perth and other international flights in December and January. The airline announced that the airline might be cleared by Christmas but it is still in the que at the Rolls-Royce repair shop.

Hopefully the airline will be able to fix this so people could enjoy their Christmas holiday!!

Manaiakalani Film Festival!

Yesterday the 12th Annual Film Festival took place at Sylvia Park Hoyts Cinema. Our school (Ruapotaka) and a few other schools watched multiple films.


As we arrived at the cinema there were only a few people so we took seat and waited for the other schools to arrive. There was a lot of laughter and excitement coming from the schools. The films that we watched were quite funny and had a really good message.

I enjoyed the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2019!

Rats Wash Up On Westport Beaches!

In totally around 600 rats have been recovered with experts concerned that more may follow.
Some of the rats have been sent for testing as the Department of Conservation to find out why it happened. 
Some people believe the rats could have washed out of the hills by heavy rain after a 1080 poison operation 140km away. However, most experts are ruling this out.
Locals are being warned to keep their dogs off the beaches.

Kiwi Can Jam 2019!

On Friday it was the first Kiwi Can Jam that Ruapotaka School attended. The arena was fulled with schools. There were many great performances but unfortunately Ruapotaka did not win a prize but we performed on that stage proud to represent our school.

Our performance began with a dance, later a skit and our final dance. When we finished we went back to school on a bus with Glen Brae.

Our teachers and principal said that we did a great job, but I was so nervous I didn't even know I did a great job!

Smart Relationships - Cybersmart!

Learners make smart relationships by knowing who they are talking to online. A learner having a smart relationship online is easy to control, you know what to do when something goes wrong and you know what to do when something doesn't seem right.

Smart relationships can happen with students connecting and sharing by commenting and interacting on each others blogs. They can make smart decisions in very hard choices. 

Springboks For The Win!🏉

On Saturday the Springboks *aka South Africa* won the Rugby World Cup over England. The full-time score was 32 - 12. A lot of people went to the game while some stayed home and watched from the television. 

Flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit was named World Player of the Year, Rassie Erasmus was named as Coach of the Year and the Springboks were named Team of the Year.

False Fire Alarm at Auckland's Newmarket Mall

Fumes from a generator in an Auckland mall prompted evacuations and an emergency service callout on Friday morning.
Authorities headed to the Westfield Mall in Auckland's Newmarket on Friday after reports of a fire, police told Newshub. Photos and videos posted to Snapchat showed people evacuating and standing on surrounding streets staring in.

Luckily it wasn't an actually fire otherwise people would be in sreiouse danger!

Facial Recognition For Sheep?

A Dunedin company has announced that they are developing facial recognition for sheep. This kind of equipment is out of this world, its way in the future. The piece of technology will help farmers remember their sheeps.

The project has now received $40,000 grand from Callaghan Innovation and the company is aiming to prototype the software this year. I think that is project may have some issues but might also be fun!

FIRE!🔥

A major fire has hit Auckland's Sky City Convention Centre. The large flames and chemical spills began on Tuesday mid-afternoon and might still be carrying on right this moment. 

St Johns have spoken saying that one person has been admitted to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition. Skycity has evacuated people in the Sky tower, casino and all Skycity hotels, restaurant and corporate offices.

Hopefully the firefighters do stop this tragic mess!

Local Elections!

Regions in New Zealand have completed their Local Body Elections for 2019. During these elections, regions in New Zealand vote for who they want as their mayor, city councillors, and district health boards.

Wellingtons mayoral race was good with Andy Forster beating incumbent Justin Lester. While Phil Goff remained mayor of Auckland beating John Tamihere. 

As a surprise 19 year old Fisher Wang was elected into the Rotorua Lakes Council making him the youngest ever voted into local government in NZ

Endeavour Sails Around New Zealand

A realistic replica of Captain Cooks ship the endeavour has continued it's journey around New Zealand. The replica of the ship is part of a flotilla known as Tuia 250 that has been sailing around New Zealand in memory of Captain Cooks arrival in New Zealand.

Over in the holidays the replica ship docked in Gisborne where Captain Cook saw this part and named the cove Poverty Bay. Although some people were excited for the ship to dock in their bay the local Maori community were not happy with this.


Some cities didn't allow the ship to dock there because their local Maori community says that its Maori area. I think they should let the replica ship dock because Captain Cook named most the land in New Zealand.

Greta Thunberg Fights For Climate Change!

Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has made a inspirational speech to the world leaders at UN saying that they failed to act on climate change. "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words" she spoke in front of the crowd. 

I think that the words she spoke were inspirational to younger and older people around the world. Not only are the words coming from her mouth its coming from her heart. 

I'm fairly certain that more younger people are going to stand up for climate change and actually care more than the UN climate summit in New York!

A Penguin Travelled From NZ To Australia!

A fiorland penguin was found tired and struggling to walk amongst the rocks on Kennett River in west Melbourne on July 10. It was taken to the zoo to get some test results by marine experts. It'll be fed and taken care of until it is able to go back home to NZ.

The penguin travelled 2,500km in total from NZ to Australia! It's surprising because penguins can't fly but their actually one of the fastest swimmers on the planet!

NZ History Taught In Schools

In New Zealand Jacinda Ardern has made the choice for all New Zealand schools to be taught about the history of our country by 2020. Some schools have the choice which parts they want to be taught. There will be changes to many schools.

 I think its a good idea that Jacinda Ardern has chosen to do this because not only will it help New Zealand kids right now it'll also help them in the future. Jacinda had thought of the idea while unveiling a plaque commemorating the New Zealand Wars.

Measles In Auckland!

In Auckland, New Zealand there have been around 778 people diagnosed with the mealse disease. The age groups that have been affected badly are children younger than 5 years old and those aged between 15 and 29. Auckland Regional Public Health Service said that New Zealand had lost immunity against measles.

Since I've been seeing a lot of people having measles it has made me a bit scared.

Netball

As some people know, yesterday was netball interschools which basically means "competing against other schools". I was very excited and tried to get as much sleep as possible which was kind of hard because I couldn't go to sleep. The netball team for the Y7 and Y8's were - Leanah, Mary Ruth, Nataaliyah, Agueer, Madisyn, Kotipi, Konzay, Leaaepeni, Tristan and I.


I was happy to represent my school in netball even though we came 13th out of 20. I thought my team could've done better but I think it's because we didn't practise as much as other schools. 


The Schools We Played Were:
Glen Innes Red
St Pius
Sylvia Park Green
Pt England Black
Glen Brae 
And Panmure Bridge School

I was proud of my team, hopefully we could play together sometime in the future!!

A Rail From Hamilton To Auckland?

In Hamilton funding has given that city a new rail service from Hamilton to Auckland. This new service is going to take place in Hamilton next year. It will cost around $92 million from funding to pay for the railing.

The transport minister Phil Twyford is saying that more and more people are travelling between these two cities so whats better than to make a rail. I think it's a great idea to make this train rail!

Christchurch Is The Friendliest City In NZ?

In New Zealand some travellers come around to look at our fine cities but what really caught their eye was Christchurch. They think Christchurch is the most friendliest because the people who live in Christchurch have a positive and friendly attitude.

When it comes to the worlds friendliest city Vancouver already took the title. I've been to Christchurch and I agree that people their have a friendly attitude.

The New Wellington Sculpture

A new sculpture has been shown to all of New Zealand and it's known as "Quasi" The sculpture is of a hand with a face on it, it's a five metre tall sculpture created by Ronnie van Hout. It's a tough sculpture because it's balancing on two fingers and is probably the weight of 10 men. 

I personally think the hand is kind of creepy for me because when I look at the face I imagine it falling on me, even though I don't live in Wellington. I wonder what the people who live in Wellington think about the sculpture.

Guns Stolen From A Police Car🚓

Last night a bunch of guns were stolen from a police car in Gore. When the policemen were chasing the car on foot the criminals ran to the police car and started driving off. As the criminals were in the police car they also stole a bag of weapons from the car.

I think the policemen shouldn't of left their vehicle. They should've kept chasing the criminals in their vehicle instead of running on foot.

Stepping Into The Future...

In New Zealand The Warehouse decided to create New Zealand's first ever online shopping mall. A lot of people who now know about this are very excited to have our first online shopping mall. The new website that we are looking forward to costs $12 million New Zealand dollars to build which is a lot.

I think its a good idea that The Warehouse decided to put up an online shop because sometimes people are very tired to go and pick up their own shopping and actually buy the shopping. There are 9% of New Zealanders who buy online, 14% in America, 18% in UK and more than 20% in China.

VTNZ Demanding For More Pay?

VTNZ are complaining because they want more pay. They are currently getting paid $22.50 an hour but the workers say its not the price they should get paid. Workers of VTNZ are speaking out saying the they love their job but at times it's risky and dangerous but the cars always come out perfectly!

They said they only want a fair increase, they have to deal with people who come out of jail and they sometimes get chased around the cars which ends up having the police involved.  I think they should get an increased pay after the way people are treating the workers!

Our Prime Minister On A Vogue Magazine

The Duchess Of Sussex was the special editor of the "Vogue Magazine". The reason why Jacinda Ardern is on the cover is because Meghan Markle chose 15 women who are trying to change their society. 

The Duchess of Sussex has been working on this magazine since January this year. Meghan Markle designed this magazine so that it can be the worlds most viewed magazine so it can make people choose to make an impact on the world.

NZ Loses Worlds Steepest Street Record!

Sadly Baldwin street in Dunedin has lost the title for the steepest street in the world. In Harlech, Wales the street Ffordd Pen Llech has one the title over NZ. Baldwin street has been the steepest street in the world for 32 years.


I think people who live on Baldwin street are kind of sad that their street isn't the steepest street in the world anymore. Hopefully in the future our street can win the title again.

Silver Ferns Victory Over Australia!

The Silver Ferns won the Netball World Championships over Australia 52 - 51. Silver ferns have now won five times in netball and hopefully can do it again in the future.

The captain of the Silver Ferns spoke these words after their victory over Australia, "It's all worth it when you have the belief nothing can stop you. I am so glad I came back, it feels so good. I can't believe we done it! It's not just for us, it's for everyone in New Zealand."

In the future I hope that some people from my class can go and play netball to represent our country and probably win another Netball World Championship title.

Tamaki Estuary!

Yesterday all classes had to experience fresh air at Tamaki Estuary which is at Dunkirk Rd, Panmure. Older classes got paired up with younger kids to pick up rubbish, there was a lot! A lot of kids found rubbish under the bushes, beneath rocks, behind the trees and next to the rocks.

My partner was Emeline who knew a lot about the environment that we were in. She explained to me that on Friday as they were coming to the same place she and her fellow classmates found cigarette packets next to rocks and milk cartons in the grass about to fall into the stream.

After walking a long way from one side of the estuary to the other we finally stopped to have lunch which was what we wanted after a long walk. I had learnt a lot about the environment and about how big of a difference there is between the Tamaki Estuary water and the water at Panmure Basin!

Compostable Apples!

In New Zealand there is a apple company known as "Bostock New Zealand" who are placing compostable stickers onto their apples. The company says that the new stickers would maybe come out next year because the company is still in the process of making it.

The new stickers are way more expensive than the plastic stickers but the company hopes that people would like the stickers better than the plastic ones. 

I think it's a good idea that a company finally makes compostable stickers to make the animals and the environment happy!

Fungal Disease Spreading To Birds

For the last few months in New Zealand many kakapo have died because of a deadly disease that has spread to many birds. In New Zealand there are 35 kakapos in the country that are only in 3 main hospitals of New Zealand.

It's sad that one of New Zealand's native birds are dying because of a deadly disease that soon might effect the kiwis and many more native animals! New Zealand only has about 160 birds of this kind still alive. A kakapo called Nora 1-A has been announced as the sickest kakapo being treated. Try to help the birds stay alive!

The End Of Rippa Rugby

The rippa rugby sessions that room 9 to 12 have now ended. It's sad that rippa rugby had to end but we did learn a lot about how to pass, throw and actually play rippa rugby! Unfortunately during our last session room 9 won 3 rugby balls from our coach Corey who told us that who ever has the most points by throwing would win.


I enjoyed rippa rugby and learned many things, I especially loved playing bull rush because it's fun dogging other people that are trying to rip your tag off. I hope that the next 2 terms are full of more rippa rugby lessons.

Queens Birthday Honours Kiwi Legends

This year the Queens birthday is honouring kiwi legends. The list includes 183 wonderful people who have made our country a better place. On the list it contains brand new dames and knights. The people on the list are known for many things such as thinking about our country before themselves.

Honours don't come so easy because the people who decide about giving people honours are Jacinda Ardern, the 12 person cabinet appointments and Honours committee. In my opinion I think it's a great idea that the queens birthday is dedicated to the knights and dames.

Teachers Strike!

Yesterday the teachers of NZ went on a mega strike protesting for better pay and conditions. Many primary and secondary teachers attended the strike but in total there were around 50,000 teachers.


If there weren't teachers people wouldn't have there jobs that they have today. I'm sure that most people from government have been taught by teachers so therefore they wouldn't have their job in government if they weren't taught the things they know!


The government should think faster and should let the teachers have what they want. As for my teachers, Mr Ried went on strike yesterday protesting with the other teachers. Teachers give children a good education. The government has already decided to have their pay rise about 3% and I agree with the teachers because that is not enough!

Tuesday 28 May 2019

Samoan Language Week Begins!

Yesterday marked the start of Samoan language week. Many performances will be held across the country to celebrate the Pacific Island culture. In my opinion I think it's a good idea to have performances to celebrate the culture of Samoa.

This Friday the Samoan pupils at my school have the choice to wear Samoan clothing to show other students what Samoan people wear. I'm still deciding wither I'm going to wear something but it depends if I do have Samoan clothing.


Samoan Words:

Afio mai or Susu mai or Maliu mai – Welcome
Fa’afetai or Fa’afetai tele – Thank you
Ou te alofa ia te oe – I love you
Ia vave ona e manuia – Get well soon
Fa’amolemole – Please
Fa’amalie atu – Sorry
Malō, Malō soifua or Tālofa – Hello
Fā or Tōfā or Tōfā soifua – Goodbye
A malu i fale, e malu i fafo – Respect yourself and others will
E tua le fale tele i le faleo’o – Even the mighty needs others.

Bread Prices Are Increasing!

In New Zealand bread prices are increasing. The reason why the prices of bread are increasing is because most of the wheat that New Zealand has is imported from Australia which is why the price is increasing. Bread is healthy and yummy and that's why the price should stay the same.

I think it's a bad idea to increase the prices of bread because whenever students go to school they need sandwiches which uses bread. If the prices of bread increase homeless people might not have enough money to buy it therefore I think the prices should stay the same.
