Tautoro School’s 110th birthday.
I am learning to add figurative language to my writing and to use synonyms for said that match my mood.
STOP READ THIS!!! ----- Do you want to know how I saw a ghost? Nah, just kidding. Do you want to know all about how Tautoro School’s 110th birthday went? Well, read this story.
Birng Birng Birng!! On a Epic Friday morning there I was laying on my bed lazy and tired and silent like a statue while all the kids are at school were celebrating Tautoro School’s 110th birthday…. Then all of a sudden “Wake up, wake up” my mum whispered shaking my bed. “ Ok, Ok I'm up” I whispered I woke up and sat on my bed thinking, what’s that something that’s special today? I thought hard Hmmm then a few minutes later Ding! the sound makes in my head “It's Tautoro School’s birthday! I exaggerate. I hopped into the car and my mum took me to school. “Bye Mum” I said “Bye” she replied
I got out of the car and I could smell something so tasty I nearly Salivated.
Anyway I waked into the school and All the kaumatua, Kuia and some Tamariki were welcomed with a powhiri. The Kaumatua and Kuia walked into the room and sat down on the chairs.
All the kids were sitting on the floor dressed up like they were from the 1900s. All the teachers were dressed up aswell and had their canes ready.
The teachers changed the classrooms around to make it look like olden day classrooms.
After the powhiri all the kids went to go have morning tea.
After morning tea was finished all the tamariki had to go back into the Library for best costume and all of that. I said to Amira “ You have got this” She exaggerated “ No”
Anyway after a few talks later miss Simeon brought out the cake. Everyone sang happy birthday in te reo and in pakeha.
After everyone sang Happy Birthday Miss Simeon said there were olden day games set in the classroom’s like
Hopscotch,
Knucklebones,
Marbles,
Spinning tops
And quoits
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMeTHING ---- The Only Thing I thought was bizarre about the school’s were the school rules)
A couple of minutes later DING DING!! the old school bell rang.
All the kids walked out of the Library to go do the games I was in whaea Gaylene’s Roopu.
In our group there were
Armani,Daejsarhn,Jordan,Vj,Takuira,Alice,Tumanako,And Myself
After the game’s were finished we had lunch DING DING the bell had gone and everyone had lunch and a play. Then the hangi came It was so delicious No one missed out on this hangi.
After the beautiful hangi and toffee apples all the Kaumatua and kuia went. Then whaea Gaylene was giving the cake out my jaw dropped I ran up to her so fast like a bullet flying in the air. MMM I salivated it was so delicious I think I knew what that nice tasty smell was I could smell.
After the Beautiful cake all the tamariki and their whanau went into the library.
When we got into the library the some whanau just said somethings about today and what they enjoyed most.
After the little get together was finished this pased generation school bell rang and the busses arrived. All the kids got on the bus and went home.
Ahhh I moaned And groaned to my mum “ Im so Tired” She said “ go have a sleep then” “ ok ” I replied
One thing I enjoyed the most about that day was doing the games and learning more about the olden days here in Tautoro.
