Robot lands on Mars

The Schiaparelli lander has touched down onto the surface of mars.

The specially designed robot has traveled more than a billion kilometers to get there. This is a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russia. The aim of the unmanned mission is to try to find out if life exist, or has life ever existed, on Mars.

Ruapotaka Mini Olympics

On Friday the 19th of August at Ruapotaka School we made our own mini Olympics.

After lunch some of the parents came to watch us. I was the flag bearer for Russia. After the Opening Ceremony finished, we had 4 rotations. The events we played were the gumboot throw , long jump , Badminton and javelin. After the siren went off, we all lined up for the closing ceremony, awarded medals to those who did well and sang the New Zealand national anthem.
