On the 10th of November we had our Athletics. In athletics there are different activity's like Shot put, Discus, high jump, tug-o-war, Javelin, Obstacle course, Softball throw,  Relay, Volley, Dodge ball, Sprints, Target ball. The house colours were Hikianalia, Hine Moana, Hokule'a and Te Aurere, When we had our athletics we all had to split up into our year groups and head off to our first station.

 We also split up into our house lines. Our first station was softball throw, the aim of the game was to see how far you could throw and The top 3 throwers were Myztique, Sheales and  Angel.

Our second activity was the relay with Mr Write and Tyler the aim of this game was to jump over the hurdles and go around the flag then roll over and come back so the next person can go this game was just basically running and falling this game was really fun Our team Hokule'a came 1st by sitting up and was waiting for other teams to come back and sit up.

My favourite highlight out of all activity was volley because we all had fun and was enjoying the time we had. Even though our team won most of the games we still cheered for all the other groups that were playing.

BE A GIVER!

This morning Andrew Patterson cam to our school to talk about our future one of the things he talked about was BE A GIVER, means for an example there was a young boy walking to school and then he saw a homeless man crying then he went over to see if the man was alright, the homeless man  said he lost his job and he got kicked out of his house and he got divorced and the but young boy went over and gave him his lunch money, but the young boy didn't tell anybody, then the homeless man went to the young boy school and told them that he helped me, and then the young boy got a gold certificate but the homeless man has a home and has a job.


He also had a quote that said if you do what you love you'll never work a day in life and it was so inspiring and he told us to be a giver so what he meant was if someones in need you should help them out and one it might come back to you.
