The Special Day: Jump Rope and Hangi

The Special Day: Jump Rope and Hangi

“BRING, BRING,” The bell rang. It was finally time to go skipping. We took off our jumpers and grabbed our ropes, and headed outside of the school hall. One by one each class was dismissed and we slowly walked to G.I center.  

As we slowly got closer the butterflies started to kick in. I got nervous, but at the same time I was also excited. We sat down in our places, and waited. First off Mr.Hendricks our principal talked about why we were here and what we were doing. At that moment I started to feel better because we were celebrating all of our hard work and at the same time we were raising money for the heart foundation. I was relieved to find out Room 1 was first. The order went in, Room 12, Room 1, Room 11, then Room 2, Room 10, Room 3, Room 9, Room 4, our class and then last but not least Room 8. After all their amazing performances it was finally our turn. The  butterflies in my stomach started getting crazy. I hoped for the best and got in my position. Before I knew it, it was over. After it was done Mr. Hendricks, let us go one by one. After a long day we finally arrived at school. Miss Terry lined us up outside and slowly called out the juniors one by one to go inside of the hall. Then after she called out the senior classes and walked in. As soon as we walked in we could see the hall all set up. There was chairs and tables all lined up and everyone sat down. The Juniors ate first but it wasn't that long until Miss Lammas and Miss Terry were handing out drinks to all the seniors. After that we some volunteers teachers handed out the food. By the time we all got our food the juniors were finished and they headed outside. We sat down at a table and ate our food. There was chicken, pork, kumara, potato, and mashed potato. The food was very delicious.When we finished we went outside and played.

At the end of the day I thought that this day was really fun, because we got celebrate something that we really worked hard on and got an prize at the end. Hopefully next time we can do it again.
