We also called her friend over and we called my mom's best friend who had a baby. The baby was super cute and he was only 1 year old,and he always wanted to play with us,whenever We use to make funny faces he always laughed,and he also made us laugh a lot of times. We had a lot of fun playing with baby and my mom's birthday it was the best birthday ever.

                             The End

Te waka ako made small paper t-shirt quotes and gave them away other people and told them to give it to other people after you had fun with it and then they did the same thing again to everyone close to there school after they were done they went back to school.                      

Pink Shirt Day

On the 17th of May, Te Waka Ako wrote kind quotes on small paper t-shirts. It was Neeve’s idea to post the cards to the other houses after they were done. The teachers thought it was a very good idea so they did it. They had some parent helpers to help them deliver the cards to the other houses and there were three teachers. They went into 5 groups of 8 so each adult will have 8 kids.

Then they went off to drop the letter to the mailboxes. Two groups went down the back track and three went from the front gate. They went up Hillsborough and down. Some people went far down and some a little bit closer. It was hard exercise, but they had a lot of lovely t-shirts to deliver. When they were done they had to go back to school and it was a long way back. When they were coming back we were so tired. When they reached school they had lunch and it was an amazing day.

Manukau Assembly

      Manukau Assembly

On the 9th of August we had Manukau Assembly. First thing we had to get ready for the assembly. We took about 23 or 24 white chairs from te waka ako from the orange space to sit on, and we also set up the carpet for the kids to set on.When the students and the teachers came we started the assembly. We started with the play, Mayhem on Mars. The play was about martians, martian’s mum and astronauts. This was about how the astronauts landed on Mars and found the martians and the martians told the astronauts to go back to earth. My favorite part about was the play.I thought the assembly went great because everyone liked the assembly.

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.
