Gumboot Friday

Gumboot Friday

Last Friday we made cards for people on gumboot Friday. You mite ask what is Gumboot Friday well here you go. Gumboot Friday is a day to raise money for Mental health campaign by Mike King. We worked hard to make cards and on the cards we wrote quotes and positive things,and we wrote supporting mental health on the back of the cards. We decided to deliver them to letter boxes around our school. When we were going to deliver the cards around our school mail boxes, we had parent helpers, we went into groups of 5 or 6, then Two or three groups went down the backtrack and And 3 groups went from the front of Waikowhai Primary School. Then we went across the road and started putting our cards into the mail boxes, some Kids kept on running and and putting the cards into the mailboxes. We were so busy that we didn't even notice that we posted a card in one of my friends mailbox. After we posted all our cards for other mailboxes, We went back to Waikowhai school, then Manukau went to the caravan with Harold the giraffe it was a puppet but it was so fun that all of us in Laughed and even they could also change the light in the Caravan truck. Then after the school bell rang and we went back home.

Swimming Sports

Yesterday we did swimming sports. It was a race, in the 1st race you have to swim on your front and then in the next race you have to swim on your back, the one were you swim on your back is called backstroke and when you swim on your front is called freestyle. There were a lot of parents and people assisting us in the pool even two or three of our teachers helping us. I came 3rd in the first round on the front Strokes by touch the end of the pool. In the second round we had to do backstroke till the end of the pool.I also came 3rd in the second race too. At the end we did a race between teachers and parents vs kids who were in Pukeko, Ruru, Tui and Kea. You know who won the teacher's because they're very fast swimming. Oh I was forgot to tell that we walked to Cameron pools and we walked back to school after walking down.
