Kaitao Swimming 2009




The Kaitao School Swimming Competition for 2009
It was a hot Friday in week 6 when it all began.All academy's got bused off to the aquatic center after lunch for a cool day of competing in all sorts of fun swimming events.The events were aqua jogging,breast stroke,running with a ball on your head and others.First up was all of the house chants.'MORRISON S THE NAME AND WE'VE GOT THE GAME!!' 'BAZOOKA ZOOKA BOSSON' 'SOLOMON S-S-S SOLOMON' 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T REID IS WHO YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO BE' After all the BORING moments spent doing virtually nothing we began the competition!!!'Who from MORRISON, BOSSON, SOLOMON, AND REID WOULD like to compete in the official 2009 swimming competition??? And that's when things started to get CRAZY!!!! Then 2 w-h-o-l-e hours later Kaitao decided to leave as we were all getting hot and cranky.So class by class, academy by academy we left the aquatic center. If we got changed into muffty at the pools we had to change back and then we were aloud to play for about 30 minutes.FINALLY after a hard day at the pools we were aloud to go home to bed!!!!!!!!!(Probably not many people did that though)

Marae

Discovery Museum Experience


On Monday the 2 of March the Discovery Academy from Kaitao went on marae stay. First the only year 8 class (Room 4) got dropped of at the museum. All of their gear got taken to Tunohopu Marae. While they were at the museum, Rooms 5 & 6 packed up their gear and went to the marae. Room 4 had an instructor that had taken them around the museum, watch two movies and do a quiz. First we went to the movie upstairs. The movie downstairs was the same except it was told in a different way. Then our instructor took us into this room where we had to do a quiz about the Mount Tarawera explosion. Also about the Pink and White Terraces. Then we went and watched the movie downstairs. It was fun because half-way during the movie the seats started to wriggle and move around. Then when the movie had finished we went and got our bags off the trolley, had our photo taken and thanked the instructor. We then started walking back to the marae. Room 5 & Room 6 had all ready been welcomed into the marae. While room 4 was walking back room 6 had just passed them. When they got to the marae room 4 didn’t have to get welcomed on.
