Fun Run

Today (Thursday the 11th) it was the Fun Run! Before the Fun run, I was going to be in the obstacle version, but after that, I chose the competitive version.

It took AGES before it came to the year 5 competitive race. "Year 5 competive racers for BOYS!!!" Mrs Miller cried out. Oh, no! I thought to myself. As a walked to the starting line, my stomach felt weird. I knew I wasn't ready for this. "GO!!!" I suddenly ran as fast as I can; ALL around Paki's paddak all around the original field (the biggest) 4 times!!! (4 laps) After I ran half of Paki's paddak on the first lap, my ribs started hurting... Oh, no... I had the stitch!

After the whole race finished, I ran back to the waiting and watching place. I felt SO dehydrated.

Well, now that the race is finished, I felt glad (even though I came 10th) that I was in the competitive. I hope I do better next time!

Journey through the legends

Journey Through The Legends

Last week on Wednesday, the whole of Nga Rakau Nui performed a show called Journey Through The Legends, that included 4 legends; (in order) Rangi & Papa, How Maui Fished Up New Zealand, The Seven Whales and the legend of Te Mata Peak. The show started from about 6.00 pm to about 8 pm-ish.

We all practiced the show for weeks; practicing lines, practicing actions and even dress rehearsals. The music and actions were one of the hardest. The show was on for 6 nights, and each night was about 3 hours. Our class (room 19) and room 12 was doing the legend Rangi & Papa, room 10 and room 7 were doing How Maui Fished Up New Zealand, room 18 and room 6 were doing The Seven Whales, and last of all: room 11 and room 20 were doing the legend of Te Mata Peak.

We are all now happy and sad that the show was over and we all enjoyed it.
