The Math Equation

Today a senior from Ongarue School figured out the Volume of the P.E shed that we have. He figure out the length, width and height. This is the equation he had to figure out:

The figuring out for the roof (harder than it looks!)

Equation:

• Length = 6.81m
• Width = 5.57m
• Height (cube/box) = 2.58m
• Height (roof) = 3.22m

Length x Width x Height = Cube Volume
6.81 x 5.57 x 2.58 = 97.86m³
Length x Height of triangle    or      6.81 x 3.22 = 21.92 divided by 2 = 10.91 x 6.81 = 74.29m³
                   2                                      2

97.86m³ + 74.29m³ = Volume/172.15m³

Complicated, I know...

Soccer Finals

Soccer finals

On Friday the 1st of April it was the soccer finals at Cherry Grove in Taumarunui. We, the Ongarue seniors, clashed with St Pats in battle for 5th and 6th place.

The game kicked off with a fantastic goal being scored by Martin in the first 30 seconds.

It wasn't long after, that we struck again with Herewini scoring from outside the goalies box.

At half time we were leading 3-0.

The 2nd half started and we were close to scoring another goal.

Then a while after just before the hooter went, we were up by another goal being scored by a St Pats player.

Herewini one of our star players quoted, "It was one of his best goals in his life". 

At the end of the game we scored 5 to nil. Everyone in the team enjoyed the last game that we would play this year. Next year the team will have to train a whole lot harder with two of their players leaving to high school.

Raising money for Syrian refugees

On the second of April 2016 some of the seniors of Ongarue School including an ex pupil, Krystalz, did a car wash out side the Ongarue School to raise money for the Syrian refugees.

The first car arrived. The first car was super muddy and it had a trailer that was really muddy as well . Even though he paid less than five dollars he sort of helped by telling others about the car wash.

The third customer arrived with a large van. It took all six of us to wash it. He paid us ten dollars because it was so big.

At the end of the afternoon we washed a few bikes they were super muddy and it was also hard because we had to wash around a certain place. At least they paid the full price and a little bit extra.

At the end of the car wash we raised about eighty dollars that will be given to Syrian refugees as a donation from Ongarue School.

Sensational Soccer

On Friday the 1st of April the Ongarue Senior Soccer team battled off against St Pat’s for 5th and 6th at Cherry Grove.

The game started off with a hiss and a roar with Martin scoring the first FANTASTIC goal in the first 30 seconds!

The second goal wasn't far behind with Herewini booting the ball straight past the goalie.

By the second half we were leading 3-0. St Pat’s coach was giving the team a good rev up. We could see this half was going to be different.

St Pat’s were presenting some pretty good defence.They came roaring up the field to our half and had a good shot at goal but Kahu was just too good  and hit the ball with his hands sending the ball straight over the top of the net. After the day had been saved I could see Kahu’s hands were going to  be sore tomorrow.

By the time the final whistle blew we had won 5-0. What a terrific way to finish the season. Maybe, Next year we could be playing off for 1st and 2nd
