Ruapotaka School

Rooms 5, 6 and 7 were the last classes to have a turn on the bikes. Thank you Big Foot Bikes for coming and teaching our tamariki bike riding skills.

Sorry whanau, you may have some children come home asking for a bike for Christmas. Our Year 4,5 and 6s are having a blast learning to ride a bike! For many, they have not ridden before.

Big Foot Bikes are in our school today. Our Year 7/8s are enjoying their cycling experience and learning how to ride safely. We are hoping the weather will hold out for the rest of our school.

Our closing ceremony for Samoan language week will be held on Thursday afternoon at 1.30pm.

Our opening ceremony to celebrate the start of Samoan language week this week was hosted by the students of room 1. Fa'afetai tele lava to Mrs Folu for the beautiful displays.

Have you returned your child's notice about Wheels Day on Friday?
