Intermediate Visit✨

Wednesday 24th of November

All of the year 6s went to the Intermediate that they were going to, the following year. I am going to Ilminster because they have free lunches and there pupils are very kind and caring. Also I am doing Xcel witch is a programme where you get to do a bit of everything Art,PE,Science,Maths,Drama,Cooking and Swimming.

While I was at Ilminster I met some of my old friends from Kindergarten we all met up and played and worked together for the rest of the day it was really fun. At the end of the day we all had to talk about what we enjoyed and what we should bring next year.

After all the talking we walked to the main hall to get into our school lines to head back to school. On the bus I sat with some friends from Awapuni school I made during the day at Ilminster.

 

Kapa Haka

 We were off in a flick of lighting to the kapa haka festival. The front row of boys and girls got changed into their Pew Pew. Then we got into our lines and had a big practise. We definitely sounded AMAZING!

Then one of the staff came out and told us it was time to begin our performance. We all slowly walked up the steps and onto the stage, then the crowd went wild! When they had finished clapping and cheering our Kaia said Whakapiri and we all bunched together and sang E Tariki,O.M.G we sounded terrific. I couldn't believe we sounded so amazing our voices all together just stretched all over and made us sing wonderful. 

After all the singing had halfway finished the boys came up and did the Haka. Bay, the Kaia, lead the Haka and all the boys followed with angry and fierce voices. There faces went red as they firmly sang the Haka.

We finished with the crowd clapping and cheering loudly as we walked off the stage I could see people clapping and cheering and crying. This was the best. I love kapa Haka.

Interschool Athletics Day.

On Wednesday 4th of November all of the finalists from our school athletics day went to the interschool athletics to compete against other school members. First up for me was 200m sprints, we all lined up in a diagonal lane then the lady blew the whistle and we were off. At first I was coming fourth then suddenly a few girls over took me because I randomly out of the blue sprained my ankle? Anyway I was coming last with another girl my age and that's how I tied last in the race.

Next was ball throw, I actually did really well in ball throw I think I came around 4th or 5th. Ball throw was really hard though there were a lot of kids that could throw like 43 metres O.M.G. But of course I couldn't do that because I am not as good as the other people.

Sadly I missed my next race because I was carried away playing handball. I wish I had put sunscreen on my shoulders and neck because now my whole arms and neck have a double burn and is fully the colour red.
