Choir Rehearsal

Choir Rehearsal

Kia Ora Bloggers! Yesterday the 13th of June, the Choir from Waikowhai walked to Hay Park Primary school for a choir rehearsal. Seven schools came Hillsbourgh Primary, Arahoe school, Riverdale Primary, Hay Park Primary, Mt Eden Primary, and Northcoat. Our choir teachers took us. For us, it was Miss McGrath and more. The head conductor is Mr Jonathan Lambert. We sang a few song like In Winter, The Eye of the Tiger, A Te Tarakihi and one or two more songs until it was time to go have a little run around and have a little snack.

After we had a run around and had a play we came back inside and went straight back into it. This time instead of Mr Lambert teaching us it was Miss McGrath. Miss McgGrath is the other conductor and then there was another teacher who was there and she conducted a song too. We sang more songs and at the end we had an extra 31 minutes (and that was 31 minutes faster than the A side.) Since there was an extra half an hour we were learning a bit of the new song to get ready for when we learn the rest. Then after, we all got our bags and water bottles and started walking back to school. When we got to school we got about 20 minutes to play. After the bell rang we had lunch then we went with Miss McGrath to do some blogging. Then the bell rang for home time. My favourite part of the day yesterday was singing together with all the other B side schools.

Peace out! Blog you Later!

Orienteering

Talofa Lava Bloggers! On Tuesday May the 21st some year 5 and 6 students went to Orienteering Zones at Blockhouse Bay Reserve. Orienteering is when you have to try read a map and find pins that are spread out around the whole reserve. You are given a little paper with the map. On the paper there are numbers up to about 25 and when you get to the right pin you have to staple the paper on the right number. If you staple the wrong place you can staple where your name is and say you made a mistake and you stapled it on your name.

When we got there we all played on the playground until it was our turn to go. If you got stuck and you didn't know where to go there were people with bright yellow vests everywhere to help you there were also little clues at the bottom of the map to help you. The first year 5 boys team went first then the other and then it was both year 5 girls teams. After us the year 6 boys went then the year 6 girls. It was very fun and tiring we all got lost and did not know where to go a couple of times. There were some very kind people that would help you if you were stuck and they wished us good luck. We all did very well! Both year 5 boys and year 6 boys came 3rd altogether and one of the year 5 girls team also came 3rd! I really enjoyed it beacuse we all played and then at the end we all had a little water fight!

Blog you later! Hope you enjoyed!
