Rippa Tournament
This week we have been getting coached by Mitch because on Wednesday 30th July we are going into Dunedin to play in the Otago Rippa finals. Mitch has been teaching us how to be light on our feet, to use supporting talk, support each other, do quick off loads, how to spin and side step and how to rip properly.
This week we have also gone into Balclutha to play and practice with Rosebank school who are also going to the Otago Rippa finals. If we win the Otago Rippa finals we go up to the North Island to play there. The rest of the Senior Class are coming to support us and make some iMoves. I am really excited and nervous about the Otago Rippa finals at the same time.

Maths
This week we have been learning a new maths programme, it's Self-Regulated Learning. We have a black book that the year 6's work out of. The year 7's and 8's work out of a green book. I like the new maths because we don't have to do the same learning as everyone else, we are at different levels and we practice activities that are based on what we need to learn. We are learning about weight, volume and capacity.

Rippa
The Wapera Winners are back in action after coming second in the Rippa tournament and now the team is going to Forsyth Barr Stadium. The rest of the class are tagging along, they're making iMoves on the ipads. They are following us like bees and acting like the paparazzi.
Besides getting photo bombs and interviews, the Winners have had skills sessions with Mitch and have also been to Rosebank School for a practice.
