Duffy role model assembly

Today we had a Duffy assembly.The role models were opera singers.There names were Felipe manu,Maddison nonu,and Katherine.They told us about when they started reading and told us were they sang and were they were going.After they told us about there singing.Then they sang a song called Shanon it was a sad song.And then we asked some questions some of the questions were interesting.

After that we gave out the Duffy books to the glenbrae students the 
role models helped us give out the Duffy books.Felipe manu was Tongan Maddison was half samoan and katherine was maori.And then they had to go.Miss Raj dissmissed us all.

Room 10’s Houses

Today  we went  to the courts and went into our house lines and then we stood up and ran three laps while we were running Mr Nath was timing us. Kauri had 1 m and 50 seconds and Rata had 2m 10 seconds.and kowhai had 2m and 55 seconds.and nikau 3m and 10 seconds.so kauri came first rata came second kowhai came third and nikau came last.

Second we did push up runs kauri came second rata came last  kowhai came third  and nikau came first.kauri was too fast for us and rata but we still came third if we were slow we would of bin last.

For  the next activity, we did sit up runs we had to do six runs but kowhai only had five people so one person had to do an extra run.kauri came first kowhai came second rata came third and nikau came last again.

After we did shuttle runs. on shuttle runs you have to run and touch the line and then come back and tap the other person's hand so they can run and do the same thing.kauri came first kowhai came second rata came third and nikau came last.

Finally we had to assemble in our house colours it was one of the challenges we lined up and went to M.sr nath and sat down.kowhai came first rata came second nikau came third and sadly kauri came last.

I felt very happy because it was a lot  of fun to me my favourite part was the sit up runs and the press up runs.kauri were the winner’s.next time we are going to try are best to be the winner’s next time.kauri had an trophy for winning and nikau had a trophy for being last.
