Athletics Day

On the Tuesday the 19th of November we had our annual athletics day. The events we did was high jump, relays, long jump, obstacles and tennis. The sport I like the most was high jump. My record is I think 1 meters and 50 cm  but it was just a pole so didn't hurt. My mum cheered me on but on 1 meters about 50 cm. I lost finally and proudly because I came 4th. My training finally payed off.

The second one I liked the most was relays. I hate how slow people could enter. They would probably loose. So I got angry then the juniors won most games. 

After everything it was already home about 30 minutes past the day was so long the day was finally over. It was so tiring luckily the day somehow flew by quickly.

Corbans Arts Trip

Aloha! bloggers 

Wednesday 13th we went on a school trip to the Corbans Art Estate. We were split into two groups - one making leis and one beating the drums. Everybody got a turn at the drums. There was two types of drums - skin drums and log drums the other group was learning how to make leis. Leis are flower bracelet leg bands, necklaces and head bands.  At the end we all came together and did a Hawaiian dance called the hula.

Now I learned where the Corbans Art centre in Henderson.  I also learned how to play the drums and the leis we made we got to keep. The people were called the Pacific Mamas. When we were drumming we had to follow a beat.
