Mission Day

Last Friday on the 23rd of September, it was Mission Day. First we went to the Liturgy and then we all had to bring a coin and each class had to put it in front of  the prayer table. After the Liturgy we all went back to class to do our tests, my class did a Te reo – a thon, later on we had to turn in our papers to our teacher, Mr.Bell. Then the bell rang for morning tea, during morning tea we had to buy as much raffle tickets as we could so that our name would be the common name that the teachers will pull out after school.

 

Following that we went to class and watched a movie called, Spirited Away which was 2 hours long, we watched the movie while Mr.Bell was marking our tests. Half way into the movie the bell rang for lunch, so we ate our lunch, bought some more raffle tickets and went in our bubbles to play some games. After lunch we went inside to quickly finish the movie before we went back to the canopy to do the raffle tickets. Later on, we finished the movie and went to the canopy for the teachers to pull out 3 raffle tickets. After they give out the prizes for the names that were picked, did our prayers and went back home.

Commonwealth Games Reflection

What are the Commonwealth Games?

 

The Commonwealth are games that Athletes enter for their Country. Commonwealth games are also different from the Olympic games because the Olympic Games is a Global sport for the whole world, but the Commonwealth games are just for original members that are in the Commonwealth Games.

What happened on the “ Road To Birmingham”?

 

We had to run as many laps as we could and we added up all the laps, turned them into kilometres and added it to our Road to Birmingham, because it was our goal to get to the finish line. We also could not travel because it cost too much money so we did it virtually. We had to virtually travel 1653.2km in 100 days, to get to the finish line.

Which Athlete did you choose/Why?

 

I chose Frances Davies, because I knew that she works hard and ecourges herself to reach her goal , which is very inspiring to me, it teaches me to never give up until I reach my goal.

How did we follow NZ during the games?

 

I watched the games with my uncle because he is the only one in my family that has sky TV to watch sports. The first time I watched only my chosen athlete but then my uncle encouraged me to watch some more sports with 

him so that I could discover more sports athletes.

Summary 

 

I would like to do this again because it was so fun to find facts, and I would recommend this even if you are not sporty, because it will give you something to do instead of lying down on the couch being like a sack of potatoes. 😅
