Yesterday on the 19th of November on Tuesday, the whole of Waikowhai Primary School did Athletics Day I enjoyed it. The activities that we did was high jump with Miss Sands, long jump with Miss Jones, sprinting with Miss McGrath,watching the sprints with Mrs Rye, tennis with Mr Rattenberry and shotput with Mrs Butler. Before we got started with the activity we sat in our age group and before that we got numbers on our hand. But instead of when your age was on the day the age when you were on the October the 1st. My number was 8 and I was versing most of my friends. We also had a stick that said your age.

                                                           High Jump and Relay

My favorite part of the athletics was high jump. We got Ms Sands - I loved high jump I was very good and I new that. I thinking I made 1 meter and 2 centimeters. Me and Masi tied 1st. I also liked that house relay it was fun but the most awesomest thing was that Tui was on the lead and Pukeko was just on there last lap as well as Tui and I was so fast the Tui was nearly at the end and I cort up so fast that Pukeko came first and Pukeko was so happy and so was I. That was my favuorite relay that I have ever done.In the next relay it was the middle school girl and they came first, the junior boys in pukeko came third I think, and the journey girls in Ruru came first, In the senior boys group Kea came first because they used one of the fastest person that made the relays and another fast person in Kea for the last and it worked and finally the girls in the senior, and the winner of the senyer girls was Kea !!!

Pacifica Mamas

On Wednesday the 13th of November to whole of the middle school in Waikowhai when to the Corbans trip. We did drums, made leis and did a dance at the end.

 My favourite part of the session was  the drums because we got to play. The other part that I like about the drums was we got to see who was better out of the girls and boys. Unfortunately boys lost and girls won, just because we carried on when we were meant to stop. Did you know people used the drums like a bell to send a message to tell the people in the village that something bad is happening and they used them as protectors of the village in the past. We used the Pacifica drums. The drums that we got to use were a log drum and shark drum. It is called that  because the part that you hit is made out of shark skin.

 I also like the dance. Fox told us the way to dance in a Hawaiian way. Jacinda told the girls how to dance in Hawaiian as well. For the boys we dance like the Cook Island way and the girls Jacinda did it the Samoan way. I enjoyed dancing. It was so fun doing the dance.

 Finally leis, it was fun and what I learnt was that when you make leis you have to give it to somebody. We put flowers and straws on the string in a pattern and then once we were done we tied the ends together. I am giving my lei to my Uncle Tony because he is in the hospital.

We had lots of fun as you can tell. 

Do you feel like going now I have told you some thing that we did there?
