Quality Blogs Comments by Elaine

We are learning to write quality blog comments. We have created infographics to help us remember  what we need to include when posting a comment on a blog.

Second at Interschool netball!

On Wednesday our year 7 and 8 netball team came second overall out of 11 teams. We only lost to Sylvia Park School in the final. Quros and Heilala from R11 were in the team and played exceptionally well. 

Miria from R12 was an outstanding captain and Chance from R12 earned a well deserved player of the day award. We are proud of our Y7/8's and they were great representatives of Ruapotaka School

The King Of Stingers-By Quros

It all started off small when I took my pet Scorpion for a walk. Just one day can change everything.

I took my Scorpion for a walk to the Zoo to see the other Scorpions. As I went to the Scorpion section the alarm went off... OOOOOHHHH! OOOOOHHHH!

There was a man on the speaker saying “Alert! Alert! The Scorpions have cracked the glass window with their stingers. Oh and they have a new species called Alphatraz. It’s a species that can turn you into a Scorpion. Get out of here now people!” I was terrified.

The doors closed on me, I was trapped in the SCORPION SECTION. All the Scorpions chased me around and around until I got stung by 40 of them. I was screaming for help as loud as I could. 4 days later, BOOM! I was a Scorpion. A Scorpion that chased other people and was dangerous. I was enjoying being bad. It was a lot of fun chasing these people around.

I thought this would never end but 24 hours later I turned back into a boy again. BOOOOOOOOO!
