Boring Version!

Yesterday was a house mufti day. The purpose of the day was for all the house teams to bond with your team members. The first thing we did was to get into groups. Mrs thrush split us into groups of ten. My group was mainly girls. We made up a chant. In the end all of Kawau came up with and awesome chant.

The next block we all lined up outside and ally he year 5’s and 6’s taught the 1’s 2’s 3’s and 4’s the chant. They picked it up really quickly. After that we played a big whole school game and went home.

Screaming that same phrase over and over. My breath quickly expelling out in short, sharp pants. The other sounds around us weakening. We have won the chant battle! Suddenly the sound of the bell pierced my ear. It was time for me to refresh my voice. Without warning I heard footsteps getting faster and faster. Then I heard a voice, a voice saying that the Motutapu flag was missing! I went from calm to excited. Excited that we could go on a mission, a mission to find the Motutapu flag. I transformed into one of those kids that were running around trying to find the flag. There was a sighting of the flag, but before we could grab it we were interrupted by the deafening sound of the school bell. We all sprinted back to our classroom.

We were all waiting until the monster marched in. She continually kept saying that yes she was late, but that doesn’t mean we have to act like headless chickens and be so irresponsible. The next minute the beep of the loudspeaker beeped and it stated we were all to go to the assembly courts. Everyone raced over and ended up playing an enormous game of find your house flag. My team found our flag and brought it back safely. Motuora found Motutapu flag, Tiri found their own flag and Motutapu found Motoras flag. We marched back over to the courts then the last bell of the day rang. We all lined up and went back to class. We all opened the classroom door and just plopped down on the floor in the air conditioned room. Me and Misha sprinted to our bags,  then sprinted even faster to the bus. When we got on the buses engine roared and we knew it was time to go home.
