If your wondering what kind of schools were there, there was: Waikowhai, Three Kings, St Therese, Mt Roskill, Halsey Drive, Christ The King, Monte Cecelia and etc. When we were there we had to set the whole thing up  like we had to put the poles out, when we finished setting up Athletics we got straight in to it. The first activity was the 800m run for the boys and girls then when 800m was still going that was when the girls long jump and after the 800m and the long jump was finished the girls had high jump. and in the end We had relays for every school and it doesn't matter what place you came it only matters what time you got in your relay so first in the relay came Mt Roskill in every r...

Unveiling of the new garden. Good Morning Bloggers. On Monday the 4th of November we had an opening for a special garden and people from different culture. So let's get right in to it, so on Monday afternoon we normally have singing assembly but this time we had a singing assembly but we had a short one. We normally have a couple songs that we need to work on but we only had one song and it was called Waikowhai's school song ( made by one of the student's Mum), well we didn't really need to work on it but we had to practice it before we opened the new garden. Then we came outside and sat down like we sat down in the hall for singing then as we sang the song, the student's mum that made the song was there to see how we had improved. We surprised her with a small gift of flowers then the oldest and youngest students of the school, came up and cut the ribbon for the garden. Then lastly  we revealed the people of different cultures. Bye Bloggers - blog ya later. Here...

Cross Country  Hi bloggers, last week on the 11th of September we had Cross Country for the whole school. When we were there we had six stations and they were called: obstacle course, run, warming up and down, skipping, kicking soccer balls in to the goal and resting. Out of all the stations I think the one I liked the most was kicking into the goal and the long run, the reason why I liked the run because it makes you fit and it's just fun and the reason why I liked kicking into the goals because I got to be goalie and everyone was having so much fun. Before we started we were working in the morning on our blogs and then when morning tea was finished. That was when we started the Cross Country. The thing that I didn't like was when it was lunch time I had no more food left but luckily I still had money so I bought some food from the cake stall. Bye bloggers thanks for checking out my blog. Here are some photos.
