going to action world

Going to action world ?

two week it was the holidays and wednesday my rugby team and I went to action world and played mini golf well let me start at the beginning.

It all started in kaikohe at 10 in the morning and like always we had to get into a van and a truck to transport us all from kaikohe to paihia, It took like an hour and a half to get to action world. Well when we got to action world we had to wait for matt to pay so we could go in and start playing on inflatable slide,. Before we went in matt told all of us to get into a group and we had to take a picture.

When we went into action world we had to go to a meeting place under a big tarp. When the lady who told us to go to the tarp she came over and started talking to us and then we had to do a practice jump on this mini inflatable bag it was just as big as my bed.

Then we went and started playing and first i went to the rock climbing wall  and then i went to the slide and went back to the practice jump and started mucking around on it. When it was time to play mini golf a turned around while i jump and i did a manu.

Whanau Day

Yesterday was whanau day, it was a day where your grandparents come to school to see what you do for learning. Man it was a blast! Well it all started at 9:30 am when we had a powhiri for all the grandparents and we sang a few songs. After the powhiri we went back to class and did a little work till morning tea.

After morning tea the house groups green, red, yellow and blue had a little game called ripper rugby. When we had finished playing rippa rugby it was lunchtime and I was running around and all of a sudden I see my Nanna and I went to hug her.

After lunchtime finished we had to into the library and finish the day like real Maori we finished with some more songs and a little haka.

After we had sang to the grandparents we had to pack up. It was  boring because it took for ages but after we finished cleaning we had to sit down to go home on the bus and it was a long wait but it was worth it.
