Shades And Highlights With Paint

At Tech in Miss Ferguson's class we did shades and highlights with paint. I was actually excited.

The colours we used first was blue, yellow and red, primary colours. First we learnt how to paint smoothly and not use big blobs of paint. Then we mixed the colours together, like mixing yellow and red together to make orange, blue and yellow make green, and blue and red make purple, secondary colours.

When we finished painting and mixing the paints together, we went on to how to do shades and highlights  with black and white paint. Now, I was nervous on this bit, because I didn't really know how to do it but I tried.

Softball

On Wednesday we went to the interschool softball competition at Dunkirk. I was nervous but excited at the same time. When we arrived, there were already schools practising. We were all getting scared now. So we went into the shade and started practising our softball skills.

Then the siren went off for the first round of the game! The first team we played was Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa school. The leader from this school did a toss with   our leader, Jessica, to see who would field or bat first. Ruapotaka won the toss and decided to field and we started the game. Our team didn't win but it was a really cool day.

Me! - Technology Lesson on Me

                                Today we did Technology at Tamiki College! I was excited because
                                it was my first time doing tech. Our teacher was Miss Ferguson. We learnt how to                                  make an avatar and did something we liked about ourselves.


                           
                             
                             

Being A Prefect

Kia orana, my name is Madisyn and I am a year 7 Prefect at Ruapotaka School. Being a Prefect is stressful because I have a lot of responsibilities and leadership. The other prefects and I have to be great role models to all students. I am grateful for this opportunity. I have a lot of goals as a Prefect.  I am excited but at the same time nervous.
