Ripper Rugby recount

Ripper Rugby is kind of like rugby but there is no contact with the other players. The sport includes a belt, 2 tags and a ball.The 2 teams need to rip off the other player’s tag to get them out.

Room 7 had the privilege to play Ripper rugby. Our coach was from varsity and his name was Matt. We had a quick warm up game which was ball tag. After we finished our warm up game we had to line up in four even groups. We had to pass the ball down the line until we reached the end. We passed the ball down the line a couple more times then we played a long game of ripper Bull Rush.

They started calling names and colours we had on like our shoe colour. I was able to run down the field a couple of times until I was tagged.So we were running after the other people that was still in the game.

In the end we were all so tired and covered with grass, rushing down from the field to the water fountain.

Science intensive week

This week,the senior school had its science intensive week. All the students from Rooms 7,8,9 and 10,went to different classes and learnt different things.

On Wednesday Room 9 students went to Room 8 with Mrs Moopanar and we made fizzy lemonade and it did not taste so good. It tasted like a rotten orange. We also did another experiment with ice cubes.

On Thursday, Room 9 students went to Room 7 to make some bread. We walked inside and there was a table of ingredients for the bread. There was yeast, sugar, flour and much much more. We made a mixture so we could pour it into a bottle and put a balloon on top, we put it into the sun to make the balloon rise.

On the same day, we visited Room 10 to see what we were going to do. We walked in and there was ingredients to make scones. There were 2 ingredients that were standing out to me. L & P and Sprite. We made the sconces and ate it with milk, it was so yummy.
