It was a hot day on Saturday but use at school that day were not. It was the day for sports and some fun old school games.
We all showed up at school at about 30 minutes before we played some old school games. Once it was time to play the games we all were called to come under the shelter to have little talk about where we could get our lunch and many more things.
Then the games started and the first game we played was the three legged race. The first race was won by Calliope soon after Calliope won Leander came speeding down the middle and won the next round and after the judges added up the scores it was Calliope in second and Leander in first. It was amazing to see how fast the student could run pinned together with only three legs.
Once the game was finished we played another game that was called roll the hoop. It is when a player uses their hand to roll the hoop to the their destination. The first race was won by Achilles the the next race was won Achilles, then the judges added up the scores again and then Achilles in first place and Orpheus in second.
Near the end of playing games it was time for the tug-of-war. After the houses challenged each other the students then challenged the parents. It was hard for others but for me it was easy because I was trying to sit on the rope. It was a tough task trying to beat the parents because they are stronger than us.
Towards the end of the sports day Mr Horan held a lollie scramble for the little children while we have to leave and get ready for Hakawaiata. It was sad to walk away from the lollie scramble but we were told we will get our own lollies after. That cheered us up as we walked towards our house areas.

An educational fun day out of the classroom
I have just finished a fantastic day at the Museum. We had to pay $4. This was a part of Te Reo and Science.
In the morning we as a school got ready to hop on the bus or vans. The bus was filled with excited children ready to learn. On the long bus ride I sat next to Huriana. I didn't talk to her much. We went through the trafficless motorway.
When we arrived we walked to the Winter Garden. It was really pretty. The plants and gardens looked nice. There were beautiful flowers and ponds with fish in it. They were good exciting to look at.
I saw a catfish it was brown and black. We then walked to have morning tea and look at the beautiful view that was in front of us. As soon as we finished morning tea and lunch we lined up in our groups and then started walking towards the museum.
We separated from the other groups and we were off to begin our journey in the museum. Firstly we went to the Victorian age exhibition where there were old fashioned clothing and other antiques. It was very interesting. Then we went to all these other places and during that time we went to the earthquake house. It was very frightening and funny at the same time. Over all I had heaps of fun and really enjoyed looking at these old stuff. I hope that in the future we could go again.
