Athletics Day

On Week 5 of Term 4, we had our   Athletics Day on Tuesday 19th November. My group went to the long jump first. Then we went to the sprints with the principal. When she said "on your marks" we got closer to the the line, "get set" our leg goes to the back and our other leg go to the front, ' GO' we run as fast as we could like ginger bread men. We had the 100m, 200m, and the 400m races. After doing all those races I was tired. Then we went to watch the 6 year old girls race. At the end we went to the field in our house groups, as we watched the fastest runners in the relays.

We also practised some tennis skills

Pasifika Mams

On the 13th of November Te Ana Ako and Haumia went to the  Pasifika Mamas at the Corban Estate Art Centre. We had to take our shoes off before we went in. When  Auntie Tu played the drums inside the hall  Fox and Auntie Jacinda played drums too.  

First, we went to listen to Auntie Jacinda who told us how to make leis, We had to do flower, straw, flower, straw all way to the end of the string. 

Second we played drums. Fox and Auntie Tu told us how to plays the drums.  

Lastly we practised our dance performance. It was fun. We had to say goodbye to Auntie Tu, Fox and Auntie Jacinda when we were leaving.

Cultural People Art

On Monday we went under the tree and we pulled the curtains to see our art and everyone clapped. We sat down until the others pulled theirs. We sat down  so we could take a picture and put it in our gallery.
First the NZ European class pulled theirs and the Burma class pulled theirs second. Savanna and I pulled together.
