1st day of year 5

I can't believe I'm in the senior syndicate. I'm so excited that I have 4 teachers! This is going to be the best year of my life.

First thing we did was attend a powhiri to welcome all the new people to the school. We sang Maori welcoming songs and heard some speeches.

I found out that there were 90 people in my class and 3 classes to ourselves. The things that we did before morning tea went a lot slower than usual because there's 90 of us.


Yay morning tea

At morning tea I played rugby fortunately it was hot and I was sweating.

After morning tea we did this grid to get to know the other people in the class that we don't normally talk to. We had a sheet that had random stuff. We had to ask different people the questions, like if they walked to school or had a pet.

Yay lunch
At lunch I did the same thing played rugby and was sweaty but there was about a 15 minute period of just prickles! I just kept stepping on them and it HURT.

After lunch we went outside and did under and over in one big line and it was slow. Next we got into smaller lines and it went way faster. The lesson there was that you need to talk and help each other. Oh I forgot there was heaps of prickles. Then we did sprints first year 5’s than 6’s.  When I finished the race I said to myself thank goodness I didn't get any prickles.

That was a great first day.

Home time!!!!!!
